MESSAGE TO ASUS:

I want a linux Eee PC with a 1024x600 screen.

If that means no Wimax because the drivers aren't sorted then fine, give me a 8.9" model with no Wimax.

I. Do. Not. Want. WinXP. On. An. EeePC. Period!

Thanks for listening to this common sense broadcast brought to you by an utterly typical consumer.

Thanks.

All I would like would be a better res on the screen, other than that it's fine for me, maybe a range of external devices such as optical drives would be nice

I wonder how much Microsoft had to bribe ASUS to get them to ship Windows as standard on their higher end Eee PCs.

They must hate the idea of a usable linux laptop getting the public (not just geeks) used to the idea that linux can be a good alternative to windows.
