It doesn't deliver what it does 'badly' - Bon Echo works, Abiword works, gnucalc works, it connects to 99% of Wi-fi, and with the right drivers added handles 3g modems better than Xandros (tying to find the Xandros Huawei drivers is a little like finding the Holy Grail)
Overall, if people expected more they either can't read specs, or we missold the box.
my mother is dead impressed with how it handles prboom... and mum isn't easily impressed (she's 82)
