Impression and Evaluation
The release in the quite nice Asus Eee Personal computer 1000HE signals a turning level from the sub-notebook market and it is one that Linux desktop advocates won't like. It seems just like the ten inch netbook has hit the sweet spot for buyers and that sweet spot contains Windows although not Linux.

As numerous have discovered, Asus has shipped the 1000HE only with Windows XP and there is no Linux edition thus far.

The Asustek PR representative in Australia has informed iTWire that there is no phrase from Asus when or if a Linux edition of 1000HE will likely be shipped. I haven't checked with Acer with what it intends to complete but I reckon it can be a fair bet that a Linux 10-inch netbook from that firm is about probably as rain from the Sahara tomorrow.

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

A netbook 18 months ago was one particular 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,Office 2007 Standard, could make skype calls and do some basic computing tasks. The 7 inch screen,Windows 7 Enterprise, tiny keyboard, limited storage and lack of computing power made them a very limited device.

In fact, the original Eee Computer concept - Easy to Work,Office Standard 2007, 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 with the Linux geeks who lauded the fact that at final the Linux desktop had arrived.

Then - shock,Office 2010 Serial, horror - Asus started shipping Windows XP versions of its new breakthrough product. 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.
