What is it: Windows XP version of sub-notebook
What we think: The Windows version simply isn't as attractive a prospect as its Linux-equipped brethren

We like:
Larger screen; multi-touch mouse trackpad works in Windows XP
We don't like:
Keyboard is fiddly to use; no 3G datacard
CNET.co.uk judgement:
We can't really recommend the Windows version of the Eee PC 900 over its Linux counterpart, primarily because you get nearly twice as much storage space in the Linux version. If you really can't live without XP, then we recommend buying the superior Linux version and installing XP yourself
