The boot time is a bit long and the performance only just acceptable, but for running web apps they would be quite acceptable. We bought the 1G/80G XP versions, since the options-price software we needed to load was only available for Windows, and mounted the computers to the back of 23" HD LCD panels, making for a nice tiny install. The built in 802.11 is very convenient too; we can leave them booted and attached via WLAN for OS and virus updates. I've just bought a B202 off eBay to use as a workgroup server for a small software development operation. We'll load it with Linux (or maybe FreeBSD, if the WiFi drivers work) and put Subversion and Redmine on it. I'm expecting these will make great little servers.

Since moving away from having apps running locally and into the cloud (have to love google apps) we have no need for a full fat PC. I’m tempted to buy these for our business.
