The 770 still has plenty of juice, but the main reason I was proud to own this device is because it is linux based. As a Windows user, one of the things lacking is a community "we're all in this together" sort of feeling. I always had the impression that other fellow Linux users would not be the type to abandon older devices as that is a very Window-sy type of thing to do. Microsofts message to their users is "upgrade to our latest software or we won't support you for much longer" I just hope that sort of cavalier attitude does not start make its way into our community. I love my 770 and I will keep it and probably not change to a 8XX anytime soon, but I want the Linux community to do what they are know for doing.
