heh, Openoffice on a 900mhz machine is a lot slower than office on the same machine.
Slower to start, maybe. Slower in use? I doubt it. I don't see any significant speed difference on my old 900MHz Athlon desktop.
I do agree that people will use what they will want to use. On the other hand, the Linux eeePC is a great way to get acquainted with something that, though different, is just as capable for a vast majority of users. It seems, however, that some people here (not you) are incapable of considering that people might function just as well with a Linux OS than one from Redmond...

heh, Openoffice on a 900mhz machine is a lot slower than office on the same machine. (my work pc is a 1ghz pentium 3 and I have office 2003 installed and had the latest revision of openoffice on here until a few days ago).
Anyways, this whole argument is really pointless. people are going to use what they like best and/or is best for their needs. I didn't mean to start a windows vs linux war...
jeez, I post a joke and a typical conversation springs up
