It is simply that Windows only on Intel(-compatible) processors, which ARM is not. So, to say that XP is an alternative is incorrect, becuase XP won't run on ARM either.

People on the go can get cheap pocket computers for the price of an internet connection - great! I'm a Japan researcher, so I can't wait to start my research in Japan and get one of these things. In Tokyo, you take the train every where, so you want to minimize the weight you have to carry - these things make perfect sense. I'm sure in the future they will be merged with cell phones - like the failed pda's, but better. Wow, that’s fantastic!
