The cake is big, by the way 
It took me 24 hours to install, setup and update XP. To install XP on a flash card (I used a SD 8G) you’ll loose your 4GB partition with Xandros (installed on the internal SSD). Use Acronis or any image maker to backup everything, if you want. An external USB CD drive and a 1GB USB stick are necessary.
1) To install XP I followed this protocol ( look for method 1):

I had to pay for WinHEX original version (not so much, indeed). Paypal made it quick and easy. Everything worked perfectly.
2) XP installation CD doesn’t have the right drivers for most of the eeePC hardware. Remember to run the CD given to you with the eeePC to install at least the Ethernet drivers.
3) Problems arrived when I had to install Windows XP upgrades on the flash card of eeePC. I followed what was written here:
http://blog.inventique.org/2008/03/windows-xp-for-eeepc.html
… but anyway the full upgrade took more or less 24 hours BE patient! During the upgrade XP is quite crappy: it freezes often, but at least it never crashed.
Now everything works PERFECT! And by the way, WinUAE is a far better Amiga emulator in comparison to any Linux UAE.
4) To finish, I reinstalled Xandros on the SDD. Now i can enjoy both the fast boot of Xandros or the more friendly environment of XP just choosing which drive to boot.
eeePC 4G – 2GB Corsair RAM – SDHC 8GB – 800×600 – Xandros / XP : it sounds and it works simply GREAT! Click on this post picture to zoom into the screen.
5) I strongly suggest you to backup the flash partition with something like Drive XML. You don’t want to repeat everything again..do you 
?

duzzit reely werk?
of course! I also installed openoffice and GIMP. Xp works really normal (except for the slow xp upgrades..as I wrote)
I think I’ll buy an eeePC 900 with Windows XP Installed.
I like the new 8.9″ screen.
Price 399 euro.
And what’s for?
A 1024×600 screen resolution is very useful to surf the web.
I think the new eeePC is a valid laptop substitute more often than the previous one.
But I read in punto-informatico forum that for a few euros more you can buy a real notebook. What is the added value of the eeePC with this price and if you’ve already a notebook?
Size does matter.
A5 is better then A4 when you don’t need a big 15,4″ screen.
keep in mind to get the eee900 version with the 5800 mAh battery…as nicely explained here: http://www.eeeuser.com/2008/05/04/eeeusercom-eeepc-900-in-depth-review/
Now I can run 1024×768 also on the 701. I put character 20 in firefox and i can read online. Thanks eeePC (http://wiki.eeeuser.com/resolution_scaling_in_xp) utility and eeectl (loranablog.wordpress.com/2008/05/08/eeepc-safe-overclock-with-eeectlexe/)
