ASUS' runaway success Eee PC is now "officially" available with Windows XP, but it is not exactly a great experience, says APC magazine which has reviewed the unit. There are none of the nice pre-loaded apps that come with the Linux version, for example. And XP has some real problems coping with the screen size and limited system specs of the unit. As a result, ASUS says it is going back to Microsoft and working on a special XP build that will be lighterweight and more suited to UMPCs."
