Over the 4th of July weekend, I read an article in Technology Review, Light, but not Light Weight, that convinced me it is time to seriously consider the purchase of a NetBook. Mike Herrity at NetBooks in Education put up a 16 second video to demo the load time of Windows 7 vs Windows XP. With SharePoint being browser based, this is an interesting alternative to lugging around a massive machine to give demos and deliver training.

To quote Mike: “The difference was simply staggering with the Windows 7 Samsung NC20 logging on in just 5 seconds. The XP netbook? In the end it would have been unfair for me to let you endure 3 minutes and 6 seconds of pain while we waited for the machine to log in.”

Thanks, Mike. Keep ‘em coming. Love to see this stuff.
