If you are going to run XP and/or Office, you need to get the 8GB version of this to handle the M$ bloatware. The smaller versions won’t work.
Also, beware of putting older versions of M$ Office on anything...apparently M$ just pushed an update that breaks compatability of .doc files from older versions of Office.
Actually, Windows runs great on the least expensive version of the Asus PC.
Find a video showing how quick Windows can be on the Asus at http://youtube.com/watch?v=Z3gHRWXqguw
Excellent points.....Microsoft also broke my Windows 98 when i tried out a demo version of their XP...Learned never to use a demo of anything from Microsoft because of it’s habit of crippling software...
Just where are all the trial lawyers to take this perfectly obvious tort case to court?....oh excuse me...just remembered there is no real way to define a tort...so if i get mugged and lose $100 the perp goes to jail but if Microsoft mugs me out of my $189 operating system, that’s ok because that’s ‘business’...
