Windows has absolutely no advantage at all on this platform and suffers from consuming more of the already limited power, and more of the limited drive capacity. You can not compare it to an Operating System which was configured specifically to overcome the limitations of such a small screen size.
Windows has the 1 very big advantage, its what people know and are used to, as i said a few posts up, had linux on my 901 for 2 weeks tried my best, but could not get on with it, xandros i think?

put XP on it, and ive not looked back! was going to have it dual bootable, to try and work with linux, may still do in the future, but XP does the job.


Oh and as for games theres a fair few running quake 3, not the latest but nice to have stuff like this on it.


Myself i have a good selection of Mame classic stuff.
