    Daniel Carter!!

    Who is he? Daniel Carter or 'DC', as he is known by here in New Zealand, is famous for playing the the 'first five-eighths' position of our national Rugby Union team the 'All Blacks'. Many agree that he is currently one of the best players in the world and no one would disagree that he is the best first five-eighth on any team, anywhere.

    Dan will be given the honor of purchasing the first Notebook with Windows Vista installed at midnight tonight (NZ time) when it goes on sale here in New Zealand. The Notebook will then be auctioned off at Trademe.co.nz (New Zealands version of Ebay) where all money bid will be donated to a childs cancer charity :)

    Yeah, thats just how us kiwi's do things down here :cool:

    The Beta Version, yes. The full version...or whatever it's called, the one you pay for, is not yet in anyone's hands as it hasn't come out just yet.

    Yes probably but we are talking about the retail version that the average population will have to pay for.
