As we all know, the Eee PC, running a modified Xandros, has been a major hit for Asus, and because of that, also a major hit for Linux. The device proved that a computer with a pre-installed Linux distribution can still be s successful machine, and many hoped that this would push Asus and other vendors to produce more computers with Linux pre-installed. This hope could be in vain after all if the new Windows XP-based Eee PC has anything to do with it.

If you want to use the web-cam with MSN, you can install aMSN that can handle web-cams just fine.
I do not have an eee (waiting for the one with Norwegian keyboard that comes in June) but I'm still pretty sure that you can install aMSN. At least you can with eeeBuntu.

Maybe some who like to use the built-in webcam to chat with friends.
It's not important to me, but I can't make judgment to those who wants it.
