I don't know about the rest of the software industry, but I just got a
760CD and it has a major problem with crashing(hanging) when connected to
a network (ie:active communication card) when on battery power. Also out
of 3 thinkpads that came in, 2 of them had to be EZ-served within 24hrs of
use. These problems have caused my company to stop ordering Thinkpads and
only order Toshibas now, which they have had more luck with. I don't
think that they are willing to try the ED or any other TP after the bad luck
they've had with the 760's.
