Q) Can I install windows xp or any other operating system?
A) The minibook comes with a version of Linux pre installed on a chip inside the minibook. It is not possible to remove, upgrade or re-install on this chip. Here is a URL for the source code for the Linux Release: http://194.150.201.35/cnmlifestyle/sourcecode.htm

Seeing as the eeepc 701s are around €200 this seems a bit on the pricey side.
