My review unit came with Windows XP - the 701s ran on a customised Xandros Linux operating system, still an option for the new model and the 901, launching here on July 1.
I prefer the Linux OS myself - it runs faster on the Eee's 900Mhz Celeron processor, but the 1024MB of RAM certainly help push things along nicely.

- Nokia’s Open Source Response: The Symbian Q&A
A: A few of the inquiries we’ve seen incoming have asked whether the EPL is compatible with the GPL - the license that governs, among other projects - Linux. The answer to that question is no, it is not. So Symbian assets will not be permitted to be legally recombined with Linux code for their mobile efforts.
- Nokia to buy and open source Symbian
There’s a huge difference between Linux and the handsets, though, and I think it’s an important one.
