Not being snooty, just pointing out that my dad can whip your dad!

Asus, OTOH, took a good long hard look at the OLPC and decided that there was no way they would make money out of it. But if they specced it up a bit, used off-the-shelf components where possible, stuck a nice GUI on top of a solid OS, then ...

ASUS confirmed they will offer the highly anticipated Eee PC pre-installed with Genuine Microsoft Windows by end of this year. The ASUS Eee PC defines a new category of computing device that offers an excellent Internet experience on-the-go for work, learn and play. With the addition of Microsoft Windows, the Eee PC can now also accommodate educational and corporate requirements.

I do not understand the last sentence, especially in respect to educational requirements. At least one of the Linux distributions (Ubuntu) have versions tailored for educational purposes, including OpenOffice, which is very nice.
