The new Eee won't be as cheap as you think

When the new Eee 900 - a better point of comparison for its screen size etc than the Eee 701 - comes out, it will cost around the same as the HP. Maybe a bit less. The price of both will, of course, come down with time, but nonetheless the HP isn't as highly priced as you may think.

Secondly, I'm not ragging on Windows per se (well, not today at least) - it was Vista I was referring to specifically. XP and I still get on fine, all things considering. My personal view is that Linux is almost at the point where it's easier to use than Windows - it really is darn close, and I can testify to this as someone who started using it for the very first time just a month or two ago.
