Hardware, Embedded Systems A review of the Asus EeePC. It concludes: "The Eee PC may be targeted at children and students, but it should also entice anyone needing a compact, low cost, yet fully functional PC. It is featherweight, far easier to use than a Windows machine, starts up three times faster, and costs about a quarter of anything in its weight class."

It is actually a nice and clever way that allows a lot of less advanced fiddlers to easily restore to factory defaults. If you're happy to fiddle with the factory defaults, it's not hard to change those, and have an easy custom setup that you can revert to. I'm very impressed with the way it's been implemented.

when i think about it, your right.

if the user keeps the work files on a stick or card, then its a simple matter of removing this, and then clearing the writable part of the system.

quite a efficient way to get back to a clean setup.
