One of the interesting aspects of the design (if it's similar to what we 
saw a couple of years ago) is that it is all centralised, so they can 
update the OS remotely adding new features etc. As the OS, UI *and* all 
applications are in their control they can manage hardware resources etc.

Obviously it isn't going to be suited to the people who lurk on this 
mailing list, but there is a market for something like this I'm sure. 
Whether Alex is the right one/right pricing model remains to be seen...
