"We’re finally getting close to customer-centric computer shopping, and hopefully more and more manufacturers will jump on the bandwagon." This is an awful attitude to have. People do care about specs in hindsight. If they have a poor experience with a netbook, and it turns out that it's because of the dog-slow Atom under the hood, they're definitely going to care. Except, by the time the realize that they do care, they've already spent their money and they're probably without recourse. For those of us that do understand tech specs, we shouldn't celebrate being deprived of the ability to avoid making costly mistakes.
