Yeah all you've got is an OS that can have multiple users; reads/writes to  
a hard drive; works with multiple USB devices; shows pictures, plays  
music, videos, and games; communicates via Bluetooth and a wired/wireless  
TCP/IP connection; and comes with an internet browser.

Completely different to what Windows does :-P
