"Windows-based"
From the article:

... AMD's Personal Internet Communicator is designed to provide Net connectivity and Windows-based computing for consumers in emerging economies.

It features functions such as browser, e-mail, word processing and the ability to view images and multimedia files. It is a sealed device, operates without a fan and can only be upgraded by the service provider, reducing the risk of human error, AMD said.


Wonder how much of a hard drive it has.
Anyway, "sealed" and "without a fan" shows how anxious they are to avoid seeing this device upgraded. More secure than the X-Box.

Me, I thought it chintzy when Apple made the low-end Mac's hard to upgrade, and I think this, too, is unnecessarily restrictive.
