What i find interesting is that the eepc was much a specialist/ experimental machine. I pretty sure that when Asus were designing the machine they knew that they were taking a punt at the market and one which has worked so well that now every ones seems to want a piece of the low cost sub notebook market.<br>
<br>Vista was very obviously designed for the kind of machines that were around a year or two ago where everything was about more power, more cores, more gpu power etc and now Microsoft find themselves with bloated OS and consumers wanting cheap machines with low power consumption because of the credit crunch and raising energy costs. <br>
<br>I wonder how fast MS will bring Windows 7 to market (my guess is very quickly), if it will be as modular as they say and and if by that time Linux will already have the low end sub notebook market well and truly sown up.<br>
