    If your used to a tablet wait for the 900 version of the Eee. It'll have touch screen and probably be sporting XP.

    No idea. I think they're slated for a H2 release, which is to say they'll be out sometime in the second half of the 08/09 tax year - probably just in time for Christmas.

    Its an ultra affordable, 7" sub-notebook.

    Yes, it comes with linux but that doesn't stop you putting XP on (the specs are just about enough). There are loads of hacks for them too.

    The eeePC is a great little device. I would never dream of sticking XP on though. Linux is excellent. Hidden Content

    The thing about the eeePC is the price for one thing. 200quid for a UMPC. Not only that but the quality of it is pretty amazing. As for the tiny SSD - thats true but I have a 16gig SD card mounted so my actual space is 20gig. Thats pretty much perfect. It's not a desktop replacement and if you run linux then its more than enough. I even have windowz xp running on a virtual machine on it from USB and autoroute :-)

    I would wait for the 900 version though. Since it has a larger screen though :-)

    I got one for my liitle girl on her bday. she loves it to bits. but one thing ive noticed is that crashes from time to time. i wouldnt even dream of putting XP on it. probably get away by putting 2k on it. overall its a stunning little system
