Specific Lie
Talkback If this were true, the Eee would have been a commercial disaster. "The machine runs on the Linux operating system, and people used to Microsoft's Windows and Apple's Mac OS X operating systems have had trouble adapting to the system, Enderle said.

Windows Vista - Here I Go Again!
Blog Comment It comes to something when my wee Eee running a much-hacked-about Ubuntu consistently beats an expensivo Sony with Vista. I sighed and moved on to other things; I'm sticking with Vista on that machine because I need to have at least one box here...

Old Dogs New Tricks
Talkback If the OS is anything like the EEE's and you don't get it, you are probably brain dead and should not be left in charge of any electronic equipment anyway. As dogStar picked up on "The machine runs on the Linux operating system, and people used to...

The Lowdown On Asus' Eee PC
Blog Comment My review about ASUS EEE PC: I became one of very few privileged consumers in Canada to own the Asus EEE PC model 701 version with 4 GB drive. I don't know who saw EEE with 4 ports but this one has 3.

Not Much Of A Competitor
Talkback The Eee on the other hand costs just £219 and is even better looking! so what is it that HP think will make their machine competitive? the whole appeal of these mini PCs is price, they were supposed to appeal to budget users.

Where's The Evidence?
Talkback The comment from the JP Morgan analyst is disingenuous given that everyone raves about how easy the Linux Eee is to use and *they've been selling like hotcakes*. Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP?

Competing With The Eee
Talkback Firstly, you'd be lucky to pick up the Eee right now for £219 - in fact, you'd be lucky to pick it up at all, thanks to Asus's supply problems. Secondly, HP's machine can't be lumped in with those other cheap but fully-featured laptops - it's a...

Asus Eee Pc A Little Gem

Ubuntu 7.10 Gibbon Swings On The Asus Eee
Blog Comment One of my long-term projects is to dedicate a big fat machine to multiple Linuxes on multiple partitions (or perhaps virtualbox - haven't decided yet). You can move the Ubuntu menus and task bars to any side of the screen - just click and drag.

Where's The Edge?
Talkback My reference to Vista is purely to do with familiarity; the average consumer, for now at least, is more familiar with Windows systems, if given a choice they’re more likely to choose a Windows machine over a Linux machine.
