That's funny as a crutch!
It is also a ripoff. On that same page you can get the "Intel Centrino
Duo" label for free!
But there's baaaaad news for Linux users. There is /no/ option for a
Linux or Tux label.
I swear, you can't make this stuff up!
Add $560 for a measly 2 Gb of 533/DDR2? Yikes!

The document-format lock-in mentioned above by Mark P is, I believe,
going to be the very largest stumbling block. To too many people, a
presentation is a PowerPoint document, and a word processing text
document is a Word document. Inroads are being made, but not very
fast.
