I wasn't aware it had an E-SATA port, but I don't think it will need a hard<br>
drive, even the 2.5" drive it came with will probably go somewhere else.<br>

The proverbial $99 frontend seems distant, but a $199 HD F/E seems very<br>
reasonable.<br>

My only real gripe is the Microsoft tax for the XP that's pre-installed.<br></blockquote><div><br>My understanding is that it comes with a bunch of crapware installed. That probably subsidizes the XP. It would be great to have an option for XP-less, but I'm really not sure it would be cheaper. It seems insanely cheap as it is.<br>
