Asus' little Eee 900 laptop is a big improvement over its predecessor 

,----[ Quote ]
| When the original Eee PC came out last year, Asus pretty much had the 
| ultra-portable laptop market to itself, and the funky little Linux machine 
| was a huge hit.

| [...]
| 
| I tested a Windows XP model to see how much it differed from the original 
| Linux model. 
| 
| I much prefer the Linux.

Feeling the heat at Microsoft

,----[ Quote ]
| A couple of years ago you reiterated that IBM was Microsoft's biggest 
| competitor and you said not just on the business side, but overall. 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.
