The libretto is not a hpc and does not run windows ce. Its just a
smallish regular ole pc which can run almost anything. People I work
with have librettos running linux with no problems. They also will run
NT.
The hardware lock or power on password may be reset by resetting the
bios. On compaqs one can do a bios reset which does away with things
like power on passwords. It also seems to scramble a bit more. Im not
sure if librettos have this feature set. I can email a few colleagues
who use librettos regularly if you want.
Hope this helps.
