Where did you get this info? Sounds like a really intriguing idea. I have a feeling it won't get a lot of support in the corporate area, unless Corel releases a suite of office products with good support, functionality, price, and performance at the same time (heard anything about this?). StarOffice is good, but the support model isn't likely to be appreciated by large companies. Still, for those looking to cut costs, it sounds like a great machine for those with less than 'power user' needs.

Who did the Linux StrongARM port? Do you know? IMO, if you're someone with the patience and a little experience, Linux will take you a long way. It's faster than any commercial Unix I've used on the same hardware, you get source, the product is essentially free, and if you're got a net connection and can use Usenet, you get good support from the rest of the user community.

I'd sure as hell buy one, and I can think of a large number of others that would too. Can you point me at more info?
