pen, not ben.
I was thinking specifically of the Intel-based variants mentioned in the article, which I would assume run the x86 instruction set and are, theoretically, be capable of supporting an x86-based Linux distro like Ubuntu. (This is assuming that Microsoft haven't crippled the hardware in some way to prevent using non-MS operating systems on it.)
Sounds like an overpriced bit of hardware either way, though.
