Even better would be to sell it as bare hardware without the OS and perhaps the HDD, but that's really only useful to people like us, so I expect that's not likely to happen. :) Looks nice too. If all the hardware is supported in Linux, that would be interesting indeed.

Gizmodo now has a hands on piece on their website:

They seem to really like it. One of the things i find most interesting
is that they state there 40 ion based PCs in the pipeline. Seems
people looking to use this as a frontend may have a nice selection to
choose from.
