If battery life is good, I could see me getting something like that to carry to class

I assume it runs an embedded version of windows or something? Hopefully not Windows mobile...

The pictures I see show it running windows... Or someone has made Linux look identical to Windows...

choice of windows xp or linux.

its similar to the laptop for every child policy, except its marketed at western countries, not handed out free to underpriveladged children in the poorer continents, but i think the concept and design is taken from the one laptop per child laptops
