Mark Light and Bohdan Raciborski from the Unlimited Potential Group discuss the challenges and opportunities with flash-based storage and getting Windows XP and Office 2003 up and running—surprisingly quickly—on this new class of devices, including the Asus Eee PC. Today Microsoft also released design guidelines to help hardware manufacturers enable a quality Windows experience for this emerging class of low cost computing machines that will help to democratize personal computing by providing a powerful and full version Windows-powered device for low income markets.

People in the emerging markets should get in touch with coding not only consuming!

How many RAM do these machines have and so are they working on consuming less ram ?

If they are, why don't they update very XP version out there so it gennerally uses les RAM so more is free for app's en users to use.

Al they have taked about was Storage Space, not RAM...

Anybody ?

Remember Windows XP's minimum system requirements are only a 233 MHz CPU with 64 MB RAM.

But back on topic, very neat video. I want to see more innovation from the computer manufactures. This is Microsoft's biggest advantage, they have many OEMs (unlike Apple). I blame them for a lot of bad rep PCs get. We must do our best to encourage crazy things like this.

Seriously, there are a lot of folks who are not 'power users' and do things like install development environments or load up on songs (storing on the local hard drive isn't a good idea anyway), or tons of programs or documents that would need so much storage.  There are lots of folks who just surf the web and read their online email.  This machine would be sufficient for that.

I replaced the 512MB RAM stick by an 1GB one.

I successfully installed windows XP Pro via the network. I used the third party nLite tool to fully slip-stream and integrate drivers. nLite also permit to remove some components that I don't use (mostly the movie maker). The Asus EEE PC uses ATA interface for it's SSD drive, so windows installs just as any computer.

I'm interested in the OEM tools mentionned in the video. As windows take about 1GB by itself on the SSD drive. Are they publicly avaliable ?

For now almost every standard windows apps works as on every windows machine, but the screen resolution (800x480) will prevent some apps to run (and you may encounter some problems viewing some buttons on certains dialogs boxes).
