There's more, but I'll post them later. You can laugh at these for now.

 

So thats basically the same as an alienware LAPTOP today.

 

Pricewise, yes, but the Alienware laptop offers a slight
performance advantage.

 

No bloatware in the software or operating systems in those days. No room as not much ram. If only programmers programmed to the same sense of efficiency these days. Bazza

 

You see, computers are made faster and faster not to gain performance, but to subdue the bloat of new software!

 

Yeah, more space for spyware too.

 

They do. But, they do it for love and passion, not money:

yeah but Longhorn will have a 3D desktop too, so it does make sense.
