1. The new upcoming OS supports direct access of Windows shares.

2. Major firmware updates 3 or more times per year, with 1 or 2 minors. Webcam support still very limited, although Gizmo (not MSN) is hard at work on it. Skype support still in question.

3. Yes, you will find tons of info on xterm and SSH here, and they work well for many people (I never got SSH to work but that's my incompetence in that area).

4. WMV support coming with next update.

5. I have encountered crashes at 4 or more browser windows open... but it mostly tends to happen on highly active sites (like CNN and yahoo, which dynamically refresh and contain over 130 objects each).
