Fun little gem of a movie 
Love the smart, the low-key, banter of this movie. Wish such films were made today.
Excellent small windows box
Comes down to what do you need? I needed a small, portable PC desktop that runs XP. I use it for remote desktop and VMware client - then I map drives to other servers to run other stuff like music. So, not a huge need for a powerhouse. But, more importantly, I needed it to be small enough for me to grab and move - yet still strong enough to power a 1680×1050 resolution 22″ flat screen. It does all that and it is just awesome. (Linux was not an option for me - I use windows and have no desire to emerse myself in the Linux world just to run a cheap, small, portable PC). Major thumbs up on this box. If anything, I wish it had a solid state drive - although it is currenly super quiet, so I guess I have nothing to complain about there. The wireless was spotty for me, so I just slap a cable on. Not sure if its my network or the EEE box… but I got dropped a LOT and just got frustrated.
Half a waste.. 
The Linux version is to have a 160G HDD & 2GB of RAM for the same price. IE: You pay a lot more for Windows XP Home. There’s no need for Windows on any of the netbooks or this device; even w/ ASUS’s very cut-down version of Linux, you can do everything you need to do. Windows Home doesn’t permit more than very basic networking. W/ Windows there is noticeable lag in operation - not acceptable on new hardware. Besides, the way Windows slows down w/ age, one can expect it to get slower over time. Of course, you’ll need to do a clean install every few months on this thing to keep optimum speed. This is a light-weight limited-resource, resource-efficient platform. Windows isn’t meant for this device or the Eeepc….or any netbook. ASUS installs windows because they know ppl will naively pay for it & that folks perceive these things as PCs, not new devices of a separate platform. Look for the Linux version. Install gOS, or some other Linux OS, if you don’t like the ASUS Linux. Bear in mine their OS is designed for this product, Windows is not. Paying the same price for half the hardware just to run Windows is not worth it. It’s like buying a hybrid car to save gas, but paying extra to have a crummy V8 engine installed.
