That's six months, an awful long time for a distribution that mostly echos Debian.

Unless they intend to run/ship big-endian, the ARM big-endian support in Debian
is (or was) scheduled to be dropped. ARM little-endian is alive and well, second
only to x86 in usage. Note: All ARM cores will run either mode.

Windows doesn't run on ARM. Most Linux distributions are compiled primarily for x86, though the Debian ARM branch is regularly updated. Still, I think it sucks away a lot of the draw of a netbook to not be able to run off-the-shelf software. eeh. Windows doesn't run on ARM.
