No, this is not a Windows computer. You can buy the HP Mini 1000 w/ Windows XP though.

Of course I know about WinE, but many people ask for the same FPS in games, and the same perfomance in general.

Also, WinE is only for 32-bit systems (natively, atm), which reduces the use for those in a 64-bit system.

There are more than WinE, made for different things like Cedega and PlayOnLinux (for games), and CrossOver *, which is WinE in steroids, for a better perfomance in general.

I think this UI is nice for people who never used a computer before and need it for basic stuff like surfing the web/chat and listening music.

since Mi is basically just an HP-configured session with HP apps running on top of Ubuntu, there's probably a way to log in and just bring up GNOME or something.

If there's any way at all to get to a terminal (one would hope ctrl+alt+f1 would still work) and if HP gives you the root password (o lord they ought to) then I don't see it being too much of a problem.

I believe there is really no need for alternatives. Unless you need some software to produce and work, then it's all fine. If what happens is that you don't know about what to use, go to some Alternatives page, like AlternativeTo, OSAlt, etc, and look for it.

If it will run Wine it will run a LOT of windows programs, Starcraft included, but Office depends on the Version. For the iTunes Junkies AmaroK or Rythmbox are both much better than iTunes, but I'mnot sure about iPhone support. Go to WineHQ and look at compatability for what youwant to use. I honestly have no programs that I can't run with Wine, or in the case of some of my older games DOSBox, while I'm sure others will find someprograms lacking I have been able to run every Win32 Program I use.
