Now pair that with an X86 version of Android & you have a full Linux distro that runs android apps (think Netflix, GoogleTV, etc.)... And to that add: VirtualBox, VLC, Wine (for those who absolutely HAVE to run M$ Office),... Maybe even a choice of UI... Now that's an M$ killer...

If I make language mistakes, I hope people will treat me with tolerance, and at least respect me for making the attempt. Remember, language errors don't necessarily reflect on the intelligence level of the writer.
