I'm just wondering why they targeted the desktop market with their
advertising. I mean, if you don't want a desktop PC for media, gaming,
or as a workstation, what do you want it for? (There is software
development also, but in that case you want a fast PC to speed up
compile time.)

- From the home page, it looks like they are trying to ride it in as one
of those "green" save-the-planet solutions.
