Impression and Analysis
The release with the quite great Asus Eee Pc 1000HE signals a turning stage from the sub-notebook industry and it is one particular that Linux desktop advocates won't like. It appears such as the ten inch netbook has hit the sweet spot for buyers and that sweet spot consists of Windows although not Linux.

As several have seen,Office 2007 Pro Key, Asus has shipped the 1000HE only with Windows XP and there's no Linux model to date.

The Asustek PR representative in Australia has told iTWire that there's no word from Asus when or if a Linux edition of 1000HE is going to be delivered. I have not checked with Acer with what it intends to accomplish but I reckon it is a good wager that a Linux 10-inch netbook from that firm is about likely as rain from the Sahara tomorrow.

In his superb recent report UnderNetbook: A tale of two markets iTWire author and reviewer Stephen Withers pointed out that "netbook" is a somewhat nebulous term.

A netbook 18 months ago was one of those original Eee Pc 701 boxes that were little more than oversized mobile phone that couldn't make calls but could surf the net while travelling,Office 2007 Product Key, could make skype calls and do some basic computing tasks. The 7 inch screen, tiny keyboard, limited storage and lack of computing power made them a extremely limited device.

In fact,Office Standard 2010 Key, the original Eee Laptop concept - Easy to Work, Easy to Learn, Easy to Play - seemed to be targeted at kids. However, because the early devices were only available on Linux they became a favourite from the Linux geeks who lauded the fact that at last the Linux desktop had arrived.

Then - shock,Windows 7 sale, horror - Asus started shipping Windows XP versions of its new breakthrough product. The rate at which its netbook industry multiplied when the Windows versions started shipping no doubt caused Asus,Office Home And Student 2010 Key, Acer and others to realise on which side the bread was buttered.
