Yes, but the path back is not fully tested at this instant. We hope to
say more very soon. In the meanwhile, presume that there is no way back.

I think it pretty clear that Linux has performance advantages over WindowsCE.
Right now, as a general purpose PIM device (Personal Information Management),
Linux isn't competative: the open source community is working madly on
such software (which exists in desktop forms already), but it isn't done yet.
So it does NOT include all functions of Windows CE.

Yes. MP3's can be played on Linux, and on the H3600.
