    I was considering buying an EEE PC, and i noticed that i can save a decent amount of money if i buy the linux one. I need to be able to use office 2007 (not open office), so i would have to upgrade to XP. Is that possible to do? and can i run XP on the 2gb SSD version and still have room for the office suit?
