It's fun following some of the discussions about the Linux Kernel... This looks good, but the reality is that for most people it won't make much difference - most people only do one thing - e.g. check their email, look at a web page, edit a document and so on.

But if you're a power user, doing 100's of things in the backgrond, then it might work for you...

I'd argue that on an older machine doing a couple of things it should help enormously. Or - on a new low powered pad or netbook make life a lot easier without having to sidegrade to Android or other reduced capability OS.
