| RARELY have a company shaken up the world of technology more than Asus did 
| with their Eee 701 notebook PC a year ago. 
| 
| [...]
| 
| My review unit came with Windows XP - the 701s ran on a customised Xandros 
| Linux operating system, still an option for the new model and the 901, 
| launching here on July 1.  
| 
| I prefer the Linux OS myself - it runs faster on the Eee's 900Mhz Celeron 
| processor, but the 1024MB of RAM certainly help push things along nicely.

Cheap Linux PCs Scare Microsoft

| As I sit here looking at my Zonbu(s) (a mini and the notebook), I cannot help
| but feel overwhelming dismay over all the progress made with "ready-to-go"
| Linux solutions like the Eee, Cloudbook and of course, the OLPC project. My
| concern is not in regard to the projects themselves, but it’s where Microsoft
| is trying to edge their way into something that Linux was working magic with
| first.
|
| First, we hear about XP coming to the Eee. Then as if a bad omen has come to
| pass after OLPC and Intel have their falling out, Microsoft is here to pickup
| on the down and out group in hopes of cashing in with installing Windows XP
| on the specialized notebook.

Feeling the heat at Microsoft

| If I ask you who is Microsoft's biggest competitor now, who would it be?
|
| Ballmer: Open...Linux. I don't want to say open source. Linux, certainly have
| to go with that.
