I did G1G1 last time around and I will again. The laptop's perfectly usable for web-browsing, fun/simple games, and is easy to improve / extend with add-on software. It's basically Fedora 9 plus some custom drivers and with a custom GUI (Sugar) which is really cool for kids and older adults because of its clear graphics.
And don't forget the super-rugged case, wifi reception, and read-in-the-sunlight screen. It's a lot more portable than a netbook to my mind.
And the Microsoft thing is just a rumour - if it dual-boots anything it'll be Fedora 10.
