*EDIT* OK, been playing with it some more. The interface is growing on me *GASP!*.. hehe Still sluggish though.
Other than that, it has some pretty nifty hardware. I love the color/mono screens. I want one :) I wouldn't leave their terrible OS on it, though.
Bootup from hard reset was around 2 minutes to a working interface. It took anywhere from 10-20 seconds for programs to launch...

If you were going to go that route, why not just get a EEPC? Sounds like you'd be happier w/ something like that. Small, quicker, and then atleast you can have a better choice of OS'es. I've been thinking about that or getting an MacBook Air. OS4.2 running on an MacBook Air would be awesome. 8)
Take care.
Mostly for the insane battery life and kickbutt hardware ^_^
oh, I can also get an OLPC X0 for a bit less than an eeePC :P

I borrowed a friend's XO and I have to say it would be greatly improved by a light-weight installation of XP. And the acronyms would even line up. The music apps have the worst interfaces/workflow I've seen in a long time. And the one thing I really want to try, the mesh networking, isn't finding any mesh nodes to connect to and I'm in Cambridge.
