Previously, I’d pretty much dismissed Google Documents as something I’m not likely to need using… I mean, how many machines do I actually use that don’t have some form of office suite installed?

I was a bit surprised to see that Microsoft have released Vista SP1 for download from Microsoft Windows Update, with automatically download to follow in mid April.
It then struck me that my circle of colleagues has changed slightly.

I downloaded and installed iPlayer and 4oD this week.
Both of them use a P2P delivery system to deliver DRM content (in the form of WMVs) to play in everyone’s favourite media player - Windows Media Player.
The problem I’ve got now is addiction.

Mike Abary, representing Sony, recently stated that if the Asus Eee laptop were to catch on with the mainstream it would be a problem for Sony and may lead to a “race to the bottom” insofar as manufacturers having to produce high quality, lowcost hardware to attract the “bottom end” of a market.
Are Sony right to be afraid of the low-spec/low cost Asus Eee or should they be embracing it?
Quite frankly, yes… they should embrace it with open arms and run happily through the poppies with the idea. After all, if consumers are buying the Eee as a secondary laptop, something to just produce quick documents and browse the internet on, or maybe even for their offspring to do their homework without fear of them playing The Sims instead, then surely that’s a great thing… consumers buying a product and using its features, instead of buying a product and being bedazzled by tons of features they’ll never likely ever use.
Yes, it will mean that manufacturers will have to look at just how much they can slim down to reach a certain a price point, but that can only be a good thing too. After all, it must cost to include all those add-ons and integrals that we simply must have!
It won’t suddenly cause the collapse of the laptop market with everyone suddenly plumping for
