What??!! If I was to quit fukking with Windows on my desktop PC & decided to use Mac OS X or Ubuntu, the only Microsoft service I would miss is Microsoft Office. Office is literally the only Microsoft service/product I use on Windows.

= IE, Bing, & etc.

That's not a Microsoft service.

It's not a MS service? Um if you seriously game you no other choice than Windows. And if im not mistaken Direct X 11.2 is win 8.1 only. You really don't know what you are talking about do you?

I was talking about specific Microsoft-owned products/services on Windows. You're changing the subject.

Nope! now its even better with win 8.1

Air has a better cpu, graphics card, battery life, and little chance of getting a virus.

Plus it's gonna have more value 2 years from now when I sell it

No its does not. Both have Core i5, same intel gpu (So nothing special) I don't get viruses. Battery is fine for me. But I have a higher resolution screen. My screen is IPS and 10 point multi-touch. So other than battery life mine is superior to the Macbook air.

Mines is an i7 4th Gen the Asus is a 3rd Gen, Air has a HD 5000 gpu the Asus has a 4000. 1080p on such a small screen isn't really a game changer but it's a nice feature. I'm not into touch screen laptops at all, don't need the prints on my screen and the gestures on the macbook touchpad work fine enough.

You are comparing a 2012 release to a recently released 2013 haswell Macbook air. If you take the 2013 Zenbook Infinity it has the same i5/17 cpu, a even higher 2560x1440 pixels screen, a better HD5100 etc.

This is where the recently presented Zenbook UX301LA (also called Zenbook Infinity) is supposed to come into play. The specs sure look pretty: The UX301 is one of the first notebooks ever to make use of Intel's new Core i7-4558U, a more powerful Low Voltage CPU with the fastIris Graphics 5100. 8 GB RAM, a 256SSD RAID system and - last but not least - a 13.3-inch IPS display with multi-touch and an almost insane resolution of 2560x1440 pixels

Even with my Ivy bridge 3rd gen my ultrabook still beats the Ivy bridge Macbook Air (2012).

People didn't want this forced on them so Microsoft forces them to buy it then gives them the option to not use it after the forced purchase. How about just not forcing people to buy it and making it optional instead.

I always hear this backward logic. This is a feature of the X1. Just because the cam is not required for core functions does not mean it should not be included. They are not forcing you to buy it. its not a extra, its a part of the whole system.
