Linux: it runs on everything. Try running Windows on various Linux devices.
Even the OLPC unit could not run Windows without being a true pain (work by
many lightbulb engineers at Redmond, as well as hardware upgrades). Windows
is 'one size fits all'.

| I wanted to write this review on the FlipStart -- I really did. But
| after a few sentences, my wrists hurt, my thumbs felt clumsier
| than ever, my eyes were scrunched and my shoulders were hunched.
| When the pricey FlipStart hits the market the last week of March,
| I bet I won't be the only average consumer who takes a pass.
