I'd be extremley suprised if the 8G came out before Xmas.

indeed, logistics involved would probably rule it out. More likely january - march

Would this version of windows XP work well on it
(Windows XP Fundamentals)
http://www.microsoft.com/licensing/sa/benefits/fundamentals.mspx
As its designed for very low hardware spec and only uses 64MB of Ram when running......
ALthough will it install etc?
Also once you install another OS on the eeePC is it easy to reinstall the orginal? ie you get a disc etc?
Thanks

Agreed - it's taking the proverbial. I am going to be buying one but not at £35 more than anyone else.

OCUK stock supposed to be in today, now changed to overdue
Anyone know if these will be available before christmas
It changed at midnight to overdue automatically. I was on the web last night and had a look, as I've got one on pre-order.
I think the stock system does this automatically if they've not been booked in, but they may be arriving during the course of the day, so not worrying yet.
I'm told availability should be better in the run up to Christmas, but then I suppose more folks will be buying them, so who knows?!

I see these PC's are in stock at OCUK, but come on £260+ inc shipping, I know its supply and demand and all but I find that too much money really.
If they were a decent price I would have bought one today.
Shame.

A few weeks into using one of these, I am finding it hard to find a reason to put XP on it, maybe its because im unfamiliar with linux, so its great discovering how an OS works all over again. Im finding the repositories fantastic - loads of hackery tools and clone games from yesteryear - paradroid relives! The only thing its missing is plug and play bluetooth.

Just ordered a white one for £218.55 with free delivery, was a toss up between this and a cheap £300 acer, but went for one of these for its size, only need sometinhg to browse the web when I'm on the sofa.
Just one thing was bugging me and that's the resolution, does the internet look like it should? as it does on the monitor i'm looking at now.

Things like the BBC site will fit fine as they're only 800 across. It will be a nice test of standards though for sites, which provide smaller screen support
