Just to correct myself.

The press release mentions the pros. The website : http://www.thebrick.com/Application/Cart/ProductDetails.asp?TraderId=34DC92B9-3DBD-438F-AA0B-BD0F699D5896&ProductId=4AE5AD25-AF73-4165-A7D3-3BACE743735E&CategoryId=18299ACE-E52A-442F-8CE5-A29C59DFF8D4&CategoryTracking=7A67932C%2D2B75%2D4A12%2D9D93%2D27C7F2101D86%2CD83031A7%2D06EF%2D4BFE%2D8F25%2DFD441F160A2F%2C18299ACE%2DE52A%2D442F%2D8CE5%2DA29C59DFF8D4

I think this is sensible.

Informed users - those who know what Linux/Lindows is and know that they want it - won't be put of by these. Uninformed users should be warned that they might now be getting what they think they're buying.

For the moment, at least, I think the best market for them is computer types who want to set up friends/relatives with simple machines for e-mail and web surfing.
