There is one thing useful Windows can do on the rPI, or other embedded system. And that would be use the .NET base class library. Sure, there is Mono on Linux, but Mono is no where near as complete as MS's .NET framework. For me personally. I gave up on .NET in the embedded space a long time ago, and I'm honestly not missing it one bit. For others though, who only know high level languages . . . this could be a big deal.
