I think it'd make an ideal machine to run NeXTStep/OpenStep on - heck, it could almost be a NeXT slab!

I don't know if anyone has tried NS/OS on an atom based machine. I'm going to assume that it probably would not work with the onboard SATA controller unless it has a really good IDE backwards compatibility mode.

You'd just have to try it out :P

chance,

You could definitely run OpenSTEP or NeXTSTEP within a virtual machine on that.  I run OpenSTEP in full screen mode on my modern iMac and it looks and feels like it's running natively.  I use a quick key combo to toggle between OpenSTEP and Mac OS X.  I'm sure you could do something similar under XP or under Linux or Solaris.
