Wow - what a fresh design. Is 1990 already cool again?

It is exactly the same design, at least its not looking like a toy (or not much
).

Add one to the line-up of computers, weblets, MIDs, and whatever else powered by Intel's "low-powered" CPU...

I have to give them credit the D Pad doesn't look as crappy as on the Nokia Tablets

OK, but no reason Linux shouldn't work. And, IIRC, one of the main complaints was the specialness of their dedicated distro (much like maemo, actually), so maybe using Ubuntu or Ubuntu Mobile will actually boost popularity. Shame about paying the MS tax, though.
Oh, and a link regarding the XP.

Well, there wouldn't be, as Pepper is essentially zombie-fied (it's dead, but it doesn't want to know it).

That was my understanding; but presumably (though not necessarily) this will be close enough to various Atom-based MIDs with good support that it would be an easy target for mainstream distros.
