I wasn't used to linux at all when I got my first 770, but I'd still take it over XP on the tablets. XP would just flat not run worth a darn.

If the tablets were XP, there's no way I'd buy them. It's been 8 years since I've freed myself from Windows and I have no intention of ever going back.

If XP is/would be/could be installed ... it would run very very slowly. Remember that a common (unoptimized) XP install requires 1.5GB of drive space and 256MB of memory. Not sure if the IT with its current hardware can handle that.

I can't imagine it would be that hard to find drivers for the hardware.

Sure, it's not as "polished" as XP, but honestly, I'd consider that a plus.

I bought the N800 specifically _because_ it runs Linux.
