Yeah, I saw it too, and had about the same reaction :)

I thought so. At least their marketing strategy of out-right lying has
remained consistent though :)
Have you seen the other one about the OS is installed so the hardware doesn't
get lonely or some other such ridiculous idea? They go on to claim that the
the laptop will connect back to the office and sync up with the server, from
anywhere on the internet blah blah blah.
Great concept, though that laptop will have a heck of a time syncing up with
the office server if say DNS is down for the week :)
