  ...although if you're a purist, you might not like the fact it's
running Xandros given they've got a Microsoft deal - a none too

  I'll be hoping this is overhyped a tad (and kicking myself that I
had actually noticed and then forgot). With related articles:

PS. How come all these "proper pronounciation" guides are video-
only, meaning I can't watch behind our proxy? Gah. Although I like
David's suggestion it's not "Triple E" but Eee PC -> "E"s e PC
