Ah, now I see.
I've been thinking about the WinCE thing, I think it might actually be a selling point to a professional customer base -- what I mean is that Windows is familiar to most non-technical professionals, in a way that Linux isn't. It will presumably run most of the same apps that folks expect on their PCs (albeit a good deal slower), so they'll see less of a learning curve.
If that's the FLEPia target market, WinCE might just be a good move.
