I've been using mine solidly for the last 18 months with no major problems (currently FC4 [but, prior to that, FC3, FC2 and FC.]) It came pre-loaded with Sun's Java Desktop thingummy, which was okay... Tadpole also do a smaller laptop which can be bought in a dual-boot configuration with XP also pre-loaded - this is quite a departure for a company who have traditionally been quite anti-windoze.
