The newspick article called it
"pretty".
Similarly, many news articles call the Windows
Metro
interface "gorgeous".

Brings to my
mind what I've always said... mankind
went to the
moon and back on 1960's technology, but it
seems
we can't make a computer* now that
will run 48 hours without
crashing.
* At least not one based on
Windows...

One would hope that the control protocol allows for
the use of entirely different computers in 5 years.
Retrofitting new computers should not be impossible.
That's the thing about general purpose computers:
One computer can be programmed to work like another,
and hardware can be built to interface new computers
with old peripherals.

How topheavy is she?
In other words, how likely is she to capsize in a
stiff breeze?

Probably would have legal issues if it had any rounded
corners.
