Sssooooo what is Microsoft going to offer to run on the eee-PC? Windows Mobile? LOL! Idiots.
They'll figure out how to put XP Home on it. The machine is actually quite capable, despite its size and cost limits.
Vista, no way. XP Pro in an office environment? Of course not. But for an ultra-portable browser/email machine? ideal!!
Microsoft HAD to allow XP to live for this, otherwise this would have been Linux's first huge strike against them in the consumer market.
