(note that I'm a Windows/Mac user, not some linux fanboy)<BR/>i just don't see the point in installing an OS on my EEE pc, that costs half of the pc itself, for doing basic tasks you can just as well do in easy mode, which is free.<BR/><BR/>Windows XP isn't designed for 7" screens, or battery performance, or for an SSD drive (less write times), Easy mode is.<BR/>If this would be a windows pc, I'd see why you'd like an easy mode there.<BR/>But well, as far as the easy mode goes, you can do all that stuff on Linux too, most users won't even see the difference (the default theme is even a copy of Windows XP Silver.)<BR/><BR/>While I'd prefer a Windows desktop over a linux desktop, the EEE pc is a whole different thing, and I really don't see the reason for an XP on it...PsyKiwww.psyki.benoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8570502188048368592.post-31870258578041076202008-03-15T05:51:00.000-04:002008-03-15T05:51:00.000-04:002008-03-15T05:51:00.000-04:00I certainly see the potential of this application. If we don't limit ourselves to the Eee PC but consider newbie PC users worldwide; won't this help the elderly and other non-technically inclined people use their XP machines?<BR/><BR/>When a situation comes up that requires some function outside of the Easy Mode interface, you can just minimize the application and do it the "hard way". But really, this might help a lot of people in their daily computer use.Macandron (Jonas Lindström)http://www.blogger.com/profile/00488573488469670935noreply@blogger.com
