Hmmm, may be I am just uber-sensitive but trying to set up networking 
seemed totally over the top to me. I can't recall the exact procedure I 
remember being led around a recursive loop trying to get a "simple" LAN 
interface configured and constantly being sent back to the "set up a 
home (or office) Windows Network wizard thingemy bob.

Anyway - it looked quite pretty; if you like the child-friendly blue 
hues and very shiny buttons, but £219.99 for a locked down, proprietary 
OS with virtually no applications doesn't float my boat.
