NC10 has been running fine for a week now... office 2007 running good, although previous post about the screen getting a bit busy when in Outlook is true. I'm running personal calendar and client calendar at same time too so thats double trouble!
I seem to be leaning over my desk a little more now! But its a whole lot easier on the train when sitting opposite some bloke with a 19" laptop, cock.

The NC10 will run Office 2007 fine, however Outlook finds the screen a bit tight on real estate. But it's usuable. Word and the rest are fine.
Also the Asus 901 with a new O/S install of Easy Peasy from www.geteasypeasy.com uses the latest OpenOffice. And this handles MS Office documents very well.
You should upgrade memory as it only costs about £20 to get a 2GB DDR2 SO-DIMM ram stick. On both machines it is very easy to do. I used Corsair 2GB Value SO-DIMM DDR2 stick in both machines.

I am pretty sure netbook mobos use just one stick, but 2 GB sticks are cheap these days, I've just had 6 delivered yesterday for new SKA server...
XP Home does not have a lot of things that use up memory, I find that 1 GB is fine.

I've installed OSX on a Dell Mini 9 with 2GB of RAM. Currently developing iPhone apps on it, and it works fine. I would say anything officey would be easily handled.

I'm thinking of getting one of these.
Will be using it for a bit of dev work, anyone tried this, if so can the Intel Atom handle it.
Mainly a bit of web stuff using MacroMedia and Access/Excel VBA.
Thanks

I've got NC10 and it's excellent - just install Office 2003 and you will be fine: XP with 1 GB of RAM makes up for snappy machine.
