   Nashton claims that the US government approving the playbook   
   for use means that it (the Playbook) will have great sales   
   and general market success

   Edwin claims that the Asus Slate, with 3hours battery life,   
   will "fly off the shelfs"

   Edwin, again, explicitly claims that a PC product will kill   
   an Apple product. The Eee Box runs Windows XP even to this day.
