Belief and Analysis
The release from the extremely wonderful Asus Eee Personal computer 1000HE signals a turning position within the sub-notebook marketplace and it's one particular that Linux desktop advocates is not going to like. It seems to be much like the 10 inch netbook has hit the sweet spot for customers and that sweet spot contains Windows but not Linux.
As several have seen, Asus has delivered the 1000HE only with Windows XP and there is absolutely no Linux edition thus far.
The Asustek PR representative in Australia has advised iTWire that there's no phrase from Asus when or if a Linux edition of 1000HE will probably be delivered. I have not checked with Acer with what it intends to do but I reckon it's a fair bet that a Linux 10-inch netbook from that business is about most likely as rain inside the Sahara tomorrow.

A netbook 18 months ago was 1 of those original Eee Laptop 701 boxes that were little more than oversized mobile phone that couldn't make calls but could surf the net while travelling, 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 very limited device.

Then - shock,

The rate at which its netbook market multiplied when the Windows versions started shipping no doubt caused Asus, Acer and others to realise on which side the bread was buttered.
