You know that competition is intense when you see Microsoft having an “I’m an Pc” booth just outside of an Apple store. Basically its a counter strike towards Apple’s I’m a Mac ads.

And when I boot it, about half that RAM is still available today in the current build. And we’re going to keep working on that, and we’re pretty excited about the work that we’ve done on performance, and I’m pretty “excited about this class of machine and the work that we can do to deliver that Windows 7 on those machines.”
