"Why not? It has a virtual processor."

No it does not hava a virtual processor. Everything runs natively and all VP binaries/tools are translated to native code before being run. There is no interpreting virtual CPU under DE/Elate.

When compiling something to VP it just means that the code is stored on media targeted for a thought out virtual processor. But there is no actual virtual processor processing that code when it is run. It is simply recompiled to native code, ie to the processor it is to be run on.

All info about this is publically available at TAO's homepage.

Something beyond 16 colors would be nice yes ;) Especially to run a few of the contributed demo effects. You can in linux hosted mode, but that soaks up quite a bit of performance. Just try to change some of the zune background settings and the wanderer will get some serious amounts of sirup in it.
