From the article:

"Meanwhile, the prospect of millions of new PC users buying the Eee PC
without Windows seemed to worry Microsoft. Just before the launch, it
agreed to give Eee PC buyers the option of getting Windows for under
$40, more than a third off the standard price."

I guess even MS knows that Linux isn't a toy OS for losers like Frank
says over and over again.

"For instance, the 2- to 8-gigabyte memory cards can be upgraded to 32
gigabytes and the RAM from 256 megabyte to 1 gigabyte by simply taking out
two screws on the back of the machine"

Sounds like a toy...the mem cards are the hard drive.
What "Windows" will it be?
Windows CE ?

Solid state drives are the future, maybe not immediate future, but this is
a step in the right direction.

Perhaps something as Windows Fundamentals ?

Yeh, you idiot. I guess that is why it's in a computer that one could carry
in ones pocket. DUH! Try that with your 19" wide screen monitor.

Cheers.

Do you use Linux? Everytime you "google", you're using Linux.

MS is worried. See above if you can read plain English (you can't).

OEM licensing for Vista is about $35. Microsoft is making an extra five

M$ employ people to worry.. they wouldn't be where they are now if they
didn't.
All successful companies employ people to worry about the competition.
Maybe that's why Linux isn't as successful.. all they can afford is the
monkeys in cola.
