I actually had the Asus EEE PC. If you are not comfy with Linux you can reformat and install XP on it, but for the most part you should be fine with the OS it comes with. It has Open Office which can read/write MS Office (uptill 2003) docs, spreadsheets etc. My Problem was with the keyboard, it was a tad small for me. I guess I could’ve gotten used to it in time.
All in all it was a cute little box and never failed to turn heads when I whooped it out.
