I'd be interested to know what the VMWare or Virtual Box performance is like on one of these Aspire Ones. I was looking at getting the Aspire One but ended up with the Aspire 2920 (12" Acer Core 2 Duo notebook) as a compromise between size and speed. I still would like to get an Aspire sometime though, maybe when Acer release the new ones with faster processors and bigger screens I might be able to pick up a couple of Aspire Ones for the kids to use (it'll stop the arguments about who gets to use their PC). I bet something like the Aspire One would be perfect for emulation too, just small enough to carry around in a bag and big enough screen to enjoy the games without squinting (fellow retro addict here too).
