I thought about it earlier and they should probably make some kind of 'media center' app, like iOS, that you can run on top of Windows. Give it an app store...

With 2-4 gb of ram? HA!

Windows XP and Vista have poo poo touch support, but I've used windows 7 touch, and it's great. the only problem was my arm got tired because it was a desktop monitor. With a tablet platform this device will be amazing.

windows uses about 1GB to 1.3GB idle on clean, i can see this working fine. If you disable Aero (which it probably won't have or need for that matter), even less memory. Word uses 20MB RAM in use, as do most MS Office suite programs. Internet is not demanding either, and you're never going to want to play tinny music out of its speakers at the same time. This thing's designed to be ultraportable, and it seems to do that great. All i wonder about is battery life :/ No performance issues here, it's no gaming rig and it never ever will be.
