Nothing against Linux or any other OS
They might be better than windows
But for common users – compatibility, usability and familiarity win over all other things aspects anytime.

In Technology (www.inumpc.com) has been selling Aigo MID with dual OS,(Linux + XP) for more than 2 months now. They have the newest version of all Aigo XP drivers ready, except for WiFi. Including GPS, CDMA 1x, SD, Sound, BIOS, Touch screen, Bluetooth, everything except for WiFi. DFS Bios version is out date now. There is still some bugs with WiFi driver. Chinese consumers are very happy with Aigo XP version. They can simply use Aigo MID with USB modem outdoors. I have already got a XP version Aigo MID from In Technology 2 months ago. BTW, as far as I know, Aigo is not allowed to issue any XP drivers officially for Aigo MID, because of the agreement with Intel. I think what Aigo is trying to do is to issue XP drivers secretly through it's distributors in China. If anybody wants to know more about XP drivers for Aigo MID, pls. send me a email. (bradwuwei@126.com) I see if I can help. Guys, XP dirvers for Aigo MID is now almost ready in China.

Do you need a lot of time to use learn how to use iPhone???

> Reliability
Linux is more reliable than Windows always. See how many critical runs Linux. In future, MIDs will be an ‘always-on’ device, have you tried turning your XP 24/7. I don’t know where all my memory gone.

> Software
It is relative true that you may miss software like MS OFFICE, but you might use wine to run it or use openoffice. many alternatives

> Support
Considering now Intel and most of the manufacturers are using Linux-based MID system, the support wont be worse than on windows. at least, now the Aigo linux, everything shall be working, while xp is not

> Drivers
Intel continues to hire more paid developers to make the open source driver available, I’m sure that this will work out soon.

1. Lack of new hardware support
2. Slow responds on these device

MIDs is the future cellphone, not just a PC. The requirement in response is very strict. The architecture of the OS does not suit these devices.

WinXP is actually very old system. It is not up-to-date with new hardware. WinXP will damage for those SSDs. One more info.
