Asus has confirmed the existence of the Ebox, a desktop version of the popular Eee PC laptop. Like its notebook counterpart, will be available with either Windows or Linux.
Taiwanese PC manufacturer ASUS is planning to release a version of its educational UMPC, the Eee PC, running Windows XP this month.
Xandros, which makes the Windows-like Linux distribution used in ASUS's popular Eee PC sub-laptop, has signed a deal with information-management software maker Viyya Technologies to jointly target portable devices such as laptops and mobile Internet devices.
The return rate on Linux-powered netbooks may be higher than that for Windows netbooks, but this isn't necessarily a bad thing for Linux, according to Linux vendor Canonical.
The Ubuntu project has made available an advance testing version of its popular Linux distribution, with the full 8.10, 'Intrepid Ibex' release scheduled to be released in October.
Cheap PCs with a Linux operating system seem to have hit the users' sweet spots, with taking the plunge into the alternate OS not nearly as hard as users had thought.
Although Microsoft is pushing hard to move everyone to the latest version of Windows, there are some market realities that are going to keep Windows XP around for some time likely well beyond the current June deadline for large computer makers to stop selling the older operating system.

The ASUS Eee PC 900 is an excellent update to the Eee PC 701. The keyboard is still difficult to use, but the addition of a larger, higher-resolution screen, a multi-touch touchpad and more storage gives it the edge over its mini-notebook rivals.
The wait is finally over for the ASUS Eee PC 1000, a notebook that promises to make a dent in the netbook market. It's the most well-equipped and largest in the Eee series and has cast aside the usability shackles of its diminutive predecessors.
The Eee is now faster, looks nicer, and has better battery life. It's also heavier and the keyboard is still too small, but we like it. A lot.
Asus packs the same basic components found in other Netbooks into a stylish, slim chassis for a modest premium in price, with some unfortunate keyboard-layout compromises.
