not yet - we started getting the staff ones in the last few days, so
nobody has really ripped into them yet. I'll be getting mine on
Monday, so I'll give XP a try (and ubuntu - it runs gutsy gibbon
really well apparently)

Can't really predict how it will go - it's a slow proc at 900Mhz, but
plenty ram, and the flash hard drive is lightning fast (the thing
boots Xandros in less than 12 seconds from power off)

on the distributor part, RM are sole suppliers to the education
sector, but we don't sell to non-education customers, so there will
be others selling it to the home user...
