That's pretty cool. I didn't know Dell was getting in on the micro-laptop scene.
It comes with Ubuntu, which is a great & easy-to-use Linux distro. I'm a Windows guy myself too, but Ubuntu is pretty darn good. I wouldn't be afraid of it.
The Tech Specs page says that XP SP3 is available. Continuing with the Tech Specs... it's an Intel Atom 1.6Ghz processor with 1GB of RAM and (up to) a 16GB SSD.
I've run XP on PC's with slower processors and less ram, so I'd think it would run just fine. It won't have enough space to house your MP3 collection, but as a email/document/web browsing appliance, it'd be great.
