Guess not ?

Looks interesting.

That's what they use for a server for gfy, That's why it's slow sometimes. I heard they ordered 2 more so things should speed up soon.

looks interesting but I don't think it's a good choice

The price is not that low after you include the hardware upgrades. Check out their shop.

What is the plan that comes along with it?? I can't seem to find a straight answer here...is its just a 99 buck pc? If so, i'm in ;)

It's actually not that bad of a deal, too many of my "goto" apps run on windows though. I do have a linux machine here that I use often, it's not gentu like this one, but that's more of a personal preference.

My biggest worry would be how gentu supports external drives so that I don't need to store my data on amazon's servers.

I would not be suprised if you don't see this very same thing, from Google soon.

It's $99 when you signup to a $12.95 a month service plan for 2 years. If you cancel the plan inside of 2 years, they prorate and refund you.

Or you could buy it for $249 w/o the service plan.
