XPSome of the software I use isn't available for Linux.
They may not be particularly designed to run XP but I'm pretty hot on stripping all the useless shite out, and it honestly felt slower than a P3 laptop with 256MB RAM I've got. Not really progress in my book, even if the Atom isn't supposed to be mega fast!
(it was an Acer netbook with 1.5GB of RAM I think)
My laptop's still alright but it's getting a bit long in the tooth now, I'll probably buy the new version of the same (or possibly a Toshiba, they've been impressing me lately) when I've got the cash. I don't mind sacrificing a bit of portability for all the extra features and performance.
