The Cortex A8 is an inorder 13 stage pipeline, without the hardware acceleration you can think of it roughly in the same class as a 600 Mhz Pentium 1 or Atom.

The Touch Book is an arm device and I think that more than anything is why the say they don't do Windows. The best they could do right now is WinCE which isn't what most people are looking for in a netbook.
Hmmm..good point. Well, crud. Back to waiting for a reasonably priced WinCE device....
