It would be great to see these put into offices, and computer  
furniture...  PXE boot them and never worry about desktop upgrades  
again!  End users may want a bigger flat panel or better speakers  
but, other than that the only things that could fail would be under  
200$ to get replaced.  They would also be excellent in a lab  
environment, if you were a big enough establishment grid them up and  
share out the cpu cycles for data crunching (open mosix?) of course  
have them all connected via fiber or GigE...   But, winCE yuck...   
What a waste of good hardware...
