Star Official Eee PC Windows XP Build Tested

Hardware, Embedded Systems "Asus has big plans for its little laptop and to the dismay of purists and Penguinistas, those plans centre on Windows. The company expects to sell five million Eee PCs this year, and Asus CEO Jerry Shen predicts that 'about 60 percent of these' will run XP rather than the Xandros OS with which the mini-note debuted."

Do I need one?

I'm trying to persuade myself into buying an eeePC. I really want one. But do I need one? I don't travel, I have an ok desktop/HTPC for surfing, "distro-hopping", music and movies. I have a Nokia N800 just for fun.

Why do I need an eeePC?

Maybe I can buy it to get a copy of XP! You know you never know, one day I might need XP and soon I won't be able to buy a copy.

Yes I definitely need XP. Don't I?

Easy. You don't NEED an eeePC. You just WANT one! It is called the CGF (Cool & Geeky Factor) ;)

Exactly. I have a nice 13" laptop but I'm thinking of one of these small toys for AROS or Syllable.
