Careful with those netbooks though, they're not of interest to most geeks because you're stuck with Windows. On many of them you can't even change the installed software (e.g. update your browser) let alone change the OS - they're all set up in ROM.
If it was windows it wouldn't be a problem, but it's windows ce.
The operating system is almost certainly stored in flash and not rom. So you should be able to replace it, but you'd need to find an android or linux build for it. You should also be able to install a different web browser as well, if you can find one.
It's not going to be great, but the price reflects that.
