Australian Eee PC 900-XP to be Priced Lower Than Linux Counterpart

Asus is turning a surprising deal in America into and even more surprising deal for Aussies. After the wild success of the Linux-only Eee PC 4G in America, which retailed for a lowly $399, Asus recently announced beefier upcoming Eee PC 900's, which comes in two versions-- one sporting Linux and, for the first time, another version equipped with Windows XP. The new PC's were both priced at $549, a surprise to some who expected the Windows OS version to be more expensive. The catch -- the Windows machine only came with a 12 GB solid state drive, while the Linux machine came with a 20 GB drive.

OpenOffice.org Beta Fails the Office 2007 Test

I'm not embarrassed to admit it: I'm a big fan of Office 2007. I think Microsoft got a lot right with its latest release, starting with the ribbon interface and including any number of tweaks and improvements that make my day easier. I can't say I'm thrilled about the price of the suite, however; nor the countless SKUs to choose from. Plus, I'm also a big Linux fan. That's why I always try to keep my eye on the current state of OpenOffice.org, the open source office suite founded by Sun.
