Ancient when you look at the requirements to look at your typical modern website. 800 wide just doesn't cut it anymore.

Perhabs, yes. Or a subnotebook, or a Flipstart kind of device, or a Sony Vaio UX etc etc. Lot's of different devices nowadays. Not all are available everywhere, though. (But I haven't canned my N800 just yet.)

All very small competitors have 1024 native res. With a good zoom function browsing is perfect. And, in case of a Windows OS, 100% functional.

Yes, considerably. I have a Win2k3 webserver and a win2k3 file/printerserver. There is no easy way to administer them with my N800.

I also have a MediaCenter PC. I canned MS MCE (sucks ) and installed MediaPortal on it. N800 cannot make good use of it. N800 also can't really access mediaservers -in general- by uPNP.

There is no easy way to access Windows file systems with the N800.
Should I continue?

You can do alot with the N800, but also lots and lots of things you can't. But as I stated, I haven't canned it (yet).
But a new IT? No way. Not even at $200.
