I noticed that it's the Linux screen being shown, too.  But it does look like it's being released with XP, not Linus.  I have no idea yet if Linux will be an option.  But I really want XP on a touchscreen to finally get a real jukebox feel to my stereo and hopefully, someday, a dedicated cabinet.  At least a portable one that I can move the PC into to on occasion, if SWMBO remains reluctant to the idea of a permanent homemade piece of whatever in the living room...

I have an Asus eee myself, and have been really happy with the Linux for what I use it for.  I use it all the time, especially since my 15 year old son discovered Guild Wars, rendering the desktop PC unavailable to others. :)

I am very interested to see what the price on this one settles at, once it's released in the US.
