Obviously they've taken the idea of making things as easy as Apple to heart...

man, asus were right to sideline their linux hardware & move more towards XP. how else would you get an authentic computing experience like this one?

I also thought of that ars artical. I liked this quote:

As you might imagine, we are upset at Windows for not being more hardy against such viruses, and even more upset with ourselves for not catching it.

You see, this is all Windows's fault for being such a weakling! If Windows was more robust against viruses, this would have never happened! Go ahead, Apple, blame the victim. She shouldn't have been wearing that short skirt anyway.

We've checked, and the current Eee Box models we have in stock, are not effected by this.
