"A little over a week ago, reviews of Asus's Eee PC 701 started to trickle out onto the Internet. Some of the larger publications, like CNet and LAPTOP Magazine got their hands on the unit first, but as it has become more widely available sites like HotHardware and PC Perspective have now put out their own reviews of the Eee PC. The overall verdict is fairly unanimous: the device's keyboard is a bit cramped, but in terms of price, performance, and features the Eee PC hits the trifecta. Indeed, Asus appears to have gotten so many things right with the Eee PC that it could be a game-changer in the mobile market, in terms of both hardware and software."

Ok, I use Windows XP & Linux. I find XP to be pretty good. I have no problems with it performance wise and haven't had any issues.
Linux is also a very capable OS too, though a little more complicated if you get down to shell commands & config files, etc. But with so many distros available; everyone will find one that works for them.
Which OS is better for you is a matter of preference. Both XP & Linux are good in my books.
I haven't tried Vista but I've heard bad things about it, from intense hardware requirements, to bugs, instability, etc., I won't touch Vista & in 3 years may do the full switch over to Linux myself unless Microsoft can convince me their next OS is worth moving to.
PS I'm surprised they chose Xandros Linux ( commercial product ) for the Eee PC versus a free, popular distro like Ubuntu, Fedora, PCLinuxOS, etc. ( One other reason why the price may be higher overall ).
