If it's true that it's either Windows or Linux, then I can live with that. Though, I wonder what their Linux is based on. It'll be interesting to see.

As for the thick side rails... maybe you're right. It just seems oddly thick. But I suppose they might act like "rests" for the base of your thumb (like a keyboard wrist rest pad). Again, just have to wait and see.

From what I know of Qplus Linux, it's specifically an embedded OS, which leads me to believe that only XP is the main OS for this thing. Wince or Qplus are for the embedded part, probably only available on the small screen.

I love the name 'The ugly sofa' - suits it so well!

In a way it is so ugly that it may be really appealing. It would certainly get noticed!
