I love my EeePC and recently reverted back from Ubuntu to stock Xandros that 
the Eee ships with. As a first generation of these kinds of devices it's 
great. I'll likely get a 9" version when they come out too, and give this 
one to my daughter.

However as the newer generations of these devices come out with bigger disks 
& RAM, and faster CPUs, XP will be more attractive to vendors. I think that 
Linux served a purpose for Asus on the EeePC 701, and I know the EeePC 900 
will also ship with it. But I can forsee a lot of people demanding XP and 
now Microsoft have extended support for it, unfortunately it will be a big 
seller :(

Just my 2p.

Cheers,
Al.
