Just a little bit confused here.

In the review itself, you say that it ships with Windows XP. The same is on the Specs page.

But when I look at the picture for it, it looks more like Windows Vista to me.

So basically: Does it ship with XP or Vista? Looking at the spec i'd say that it's an XP machine because Vista probably wouldn't run well on it, but then, why would they put a Vista screenshot on something when it runs XP?

You're not the first to notice this. I've asked Rory about it. I'll let him weigh in on it.

Rory is ill today, so you get me instead! The image is incorrect, it runs XP as stated in the article rather than Vista. We'll fix it today. Sorry about the error.

In the meantime, here's a screenshot of the Eee Top interface

I was going to say! An Eee running Vista is that ever likely to happen?
