Get your facts straight

1. This lawsuit has absolutely nothing to do with the battery problem or the battery recall or the exploding laptops (exploding batteries in laptops actually). The issue here is poor design and inadequate cooling causing the motherboard to overheat and the computer to shut down, as well as parts having a shorter life span because of constant high temperatures. The battery problem was Sony's fault, this is Dell's fault, one has nothing to do with the other.

2. Dell does in fact offer warranties up to four (4) years in Canada, check their website, dell.ca.

Get your facts straight. Here's the press release from the law firm handling the case: http://www.rochongenova.com/docs/dellrelease.pdf

Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP? A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot. The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
