See for yourself what is inside the ASUS Eee901
,----[ Quote ]
| The TechRepublic Linux and Open Source blog has been talking about the ASUS
| Eee 901 ultra-portable personal computer lately because it ships with a
| version of Linux. The general consensus seems to be that the Eee is good for
| some specific tasks, but there are limitations. However, the real question is
| what the heck is inside one of these small devices. With that in mind, we
| offer “Cracking Open the ASUS Eee 901 20G ultra-portable.”

Intel Backstabs Microsoft by Abandoning Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| The news that Intel has decided it won't upgrade its PCs to Vista must be
| especially bitter for Microsoft because court documents show that Microsoft
| may have launched its ill-fated "junk PC" Vista scheme at the behest of
| Intel. Is this the kind of payback that Microsoft expected?

Intel won't touch Vista
,----[ Quote ]
| So that leaves two other choices, Linux and Mac. Linux is a distinct
| possibility, they already have an in-house distro that causes employees look
| nervously around the room when you talk about it. Although it is not a
| desktop variant, there is no reason that they could not roll one given two
| years.
