Be willing to bet its a custom Linux distro of some flavor. I'd argue that its possible to install eCS on it, but through the kind of stick waggling that's necessary for the eeePC and others without optical drives.

"We offer a large selection of programs for you to use through the CherryPalCloud. Traditional programs such as Microsoft Word or iMovie will not work on the CherryPal, but we provide many open source alternatives that allow you to accomplish the same tasks."  The OS is probably not Win. It might be - as you have posted above - be a variation of the Linux os.

Perhaps one could install eCS onto it?

I have read that the Cherry Pal pc has not really been delivered to any one yet. Perhaps the Bing would be that way too?  ???

For sure You can install eCS on this, but will You find drivers for graphic, network and sound card is real question. :( And this look like clone of eeePC 901 and up for me, it  have similar caracteristics. 5 hours of battery life is veeery nice. :) My eeePC stand up for only 3 hour. And it eat battery in standby. :(
