Will this new portable Mac run the full MacOS, or some crippled version of it ala WindowsCE?

It's the real deal. CE boxes are cheaper because the OS has been hobbled to use fewer resources. Apple's new machine will be cheaper because they've crammed more functionality on a single chip, allowing it to run the full Mac OS.
