Netbook Setup?

Why would you pay $99 to have your $400 netbook configured at the store?

This is just another cash grab - preying on those that are unsure of what they need and feel that they need to be told!

Isn't the whole point of a netbook the fact that it is cheap and used for basic tasks such as accessing the Web? There shouldn't be any setup necessary (unless the manufacturers have really blown it!)

I also wonder if this service is available for Linux based netbooks?
