What about the integrated 3D support? Are you planning to support 
OpenGL? In that case there will be a very wide performance gap (like 3D 
acceleration vs no 3D acceleration)...

Also it seems that this machine will be on par with current Netbooks. 
Are you planning to sell it through normal distribution channels? (As I 
am interested in theat still no Netbook has the display or the 
indestructible design my XO has.)
