It isn't "general purpose."

Sure it is. What makes it not general purpose? You can write and execute programs on it. How much more general purpose can you get?

You can? From all the reviews I've read it runs web-"apps" things. I've never read that it can run software developed for the platform specifically.

You can run Native Client code on it, just as you can in Chrome the Browser.
