There's a big stink about the factories allowing malware to be installed and it's not resolved yet.

how long did you get out of the battery when you first had it ?

655998 2008-04-07 10:07:00 You could buy an Eee, load a slimmed down copy of XP (http://www.nliteos.com) on it and have ~3-3.5GB for photos.

And you can use it as a laptop as well. $600 for Linux version, $700 for Windows version. Wipe the SSD of whatever's on there and install a cut down XP - if you buy the XP version you get ~1GB left after install.

If you are suggesting it be used primarily as a photo display, why would you pay an extra $100 for windows?

Does the eeePC have a built in card reader?
