Hands-On With the Windows XP-Based Asus Eee PC

Posted by kdawson on Sunday March 30, 2008 @11:38AM from the not-bad-for-400-bucks dept.

MojoKid writes "Though the Asus Eee PC Windows XP variant isn't due out until sometime in April, HotHardware was able to get their hands on a full retail bundle before they hit store shelves in the US. The standard assortment of accoutrements is included in the bundle, along with a couple of notable upgrades. Asus took the initiative to provide an additional 4GB SD card from Adata, a healthy storage expansion for the system. In addition, an Asus-branded optical mouse was thrown in for good measure. Microsoft's Windows Live messenger, photo gallery and email suite are pre-installed on the the machine for collaborative and social networking capability, in addition to Microsoft Works for word processing, spreadsheets, and calendar functionality."

I'm sure that I'm not alone here.

So perhaps you meant to say that you live in a Microsoft centric world, because I sure don't.

Alone? No. (Linux has been my sole home desktop for 7 years.)

But anyone who says -- and believes -- that this is not a Microsoft world is deluding himself.

Personally, I think you're full of shit.

Personally, I think you're not very observant.
