The Asus EEE PC900 computer is a small tablet-style laptop computer which comes pre-installed with a Linux operating system. While Linux is the default flavor for this computer, there is nothing preventing you from installing Windows XP in its place if you so desire, enabling you to use a more streamlined and standardized Microsoft operating system on your computer.
