From: John Grady <johngr () travsoft com> To: "'farber () cis upenn edu'" <farber () cis upenn edu> Dave, Quick thoughts on Andy's question - Why aren't US hardware company's going after the subnotebook market like the Japanese manufacturers. **WindowsCE**. Yep, it's the 'never bet against Microsoft' strategy at work. And they're right. Why spend +/- $2400 when you can get a truly powerful desktop and an even more mobile Jupiter class CE machine (that synchronizes with ease) for less money? Just wait until Comdex and you'll see what I'm talking about. These new machines are cool toys, but too specialized and too expensive. Best Regards, John Grady john_grady () bigfoot com
