Also, if the 770 ran Windows, it would have cost at least $100 more than it costs now.

And, if the 770 ran Windows, we wouldn't call it "running". "Crawling", yes...[/QUOTE]

Windows "anything" requires a lot more resources, hence a lot more cost. You would not be able to get any windows based device to equal the 770 without at least an 800 meg processor. An example of this is the following: I run dual boot Linux on one hard drive and Windows on the other. This is not an old box, I'm running 2 gig of RAM and SATA drives on an AMD 64. The only thing I use windows for is gaming, everything else is done in Linux. I can run Word 2k using cross-over office on Linux and it opens word in less than half the time that windows requires to open it. Gaming is the only thing that makes me boot windows and that only comprises about 25% of my computer use/
