@James Kendrick: I think you might be getting HPs products confused. This version which runs on the Mini is actually built on top Linux not XP.

However they have a similar looking interface on some of their all in one desktops which I believe is on top of Vista.

@ Vance: that is definitely a minus for the Mini.
But other than that, the Mini 1000 is great, specially with MIE Linux bundled with it!

wow, I really like that interface! I would’ve gladly bought a Linux mini-note right now, except they took out the VGA port!!!

Really slick…not like Linux at all! *hides*

Did you get to see the boot time?

yeah OE really was a great idea but the thing is it had to run on Vista. UMPC’s can’t run Vista very well unless you have 2GB ram and an SSD.

Since this runs on XP it probably runs better because of that. I would really wish I can run Origigami Experience in XP.

I also would love to use this on a UMPC.

MIE in action struck me as what the Origami Experience wanted to be but fell short IMHO. MIE was much more useful than OE while I was playing with it.

Rocco, the EEE 9″ and greater also come with smaller bricks, it is only the original 7″ EEE that came with the small adapter.

now the question is…

@ Rocco

If it’s anything like the original Mini-Note, it’s a shrunk down version of a standard, two piece, AC adapter.

Is it small? Yes, but it’s not original Eee PC small.

How big is the AC adapter for the Mini? anyone knows? that is a deal breaker for me, the Asus come with one that resemble a cell phone charger. That is slick.
