Consider that you can go to Bestbuy (or your local computer retailer or choice) and buy a $500 laptop capable of running Windows 7. A Mac is 2 to 5 times that. (Highest price PC at Bestbuy $1200, highest priced Mac ~$2200) (Macbook is $1000, pc is $300-$500). I installed Windows 7 on 2 laptops of family members. These laptops were $300 from Walmart. Windows 7 runs just fine. I installed Windows 7 on an Asus EEE pc. Runs about as well as Windows XP (only computer where I can tell it runs a littler slower). Considering a ~$800 ipad that isn't a full computer... I fail to grasp what kind of performance you expect to get out of Windows 7, while at the same time having a full featured OS at the same time running on _affordable_ hardware.
