Seeing it uses firefox for web, thunderbird for email, Openoffice for word processing etc, pidgin for IM. All these apps are commonly used on windows as well.<BR/><BR/>None the less a windows version of the system is due out later this year and if needed the current linux install can be replaced with windows. If you don't mind the entire system running slower.<BR/><BR/>If you were using this for your course work the biggest problem would be the low resolution, 800x480 is not very useful for designing big documents of picture work.Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04344987411651421193noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-7378954.post-76827119059413827902007-11-06T14:49:00.000+13:002007-11-06T14:49:00.000+13:00Yeah, that and the fact that it's Linux are a bit ...Yeah, that and the fact that it's Linux are a bit of a downer.
