But do they run OS X?

This machine I believe is basically a mac mobo that's been mounted in
a new case.

I've been reading bits and pieces about it.  It has some interesting
things, but ultimately it is a content delivery system, not something
meant for authoring from.  Which in one sense puts it out of the realm
of things I deeply care about.  In another sense, it is still cool,
and probably deserves more looking at.  I'm hearing rumors about
embeded java in it, and embeded 3D, amoung other things.
