It probably wouldn't take too much hacking to get Windows9x installed on it. Question is, what would you do with it then?
Found this on a similar website that is selling the same thing under a different name.
"The OEM that supplies the MicroClient's board mainly supports Microsoft OSes on it, Barnes says, including Windows 98/ME, Windows CE, and Windows XP Embedded"
Buy a printer and it could be an electric typewriter.
It looks like it's set up to boot off CF which doesn't really lend itself to media streaming. I suppose you could hook up an external USB hdd, but then you don't really have a nice SFF pc anymore.
I would probably make a passable WAP.

Do what Windows 98 machines are famous, and apparently designed to do.
Play solitaire.

if you can add a 2.5"hdd then it would probably work great for GPS/Mp3 streaming. Video would be the big question though.
Also, I added a couple lines above, but it looks like the original manufacturer of the motherboard actually uses it for WindowsCE and embedded WinXP applications, so installing Windows shouldn't be too hard at all. WinCE might be interesting.
