Re: [PLUG] Jaunty on Mini-9

[Art Alexion <art.alexion@gmail.com>]

I have not heard good things about Acer quality, but a colleague has a  
9". Keyboard superior to 10" eee, and about $130 cheaper with default  
XP and 160 gb hd.

Finding that the adware they can supply with windows can make it  
effectively cheaper for oems than a free (and ad free) os.

Plus I get much, much better battery life with the ssd than a hd.
