Most probably yes. I personnaly wouldn't even consider using the product without such keys.

CTRL ALT DEL keys? I hope your not serious about this. The only system reset I expect is a on/off switch. This sure looks like it's shaping up to be a NC. I also expect it to boot up fast but take time to download your desired application from the network. My take on the TCI/SUN/MS deal is that TCI doesn't know or have confidence in Java due to the fact there is alot of hype and a lack of real applications. They are playing both sides of the fence right now. I also think using MS will give them instant consumer recognition for their product since everybody knows MS and can actually see and use MS applications. I don't know anything about MS CE and if it's like Windows then Java should kick its butt but that will be determined in the future. The problem that could happen is that if Java doesn't get into gear and get some real useable applications CE will get a foot hold in what surely appears to be a real consumer electronics product called the NC.
