Microsoft’s new WGA anti-piracy mode in the upcoming Vista SP1 lets users continue using their newly detected non-genuine copies of Vista, albeit with Aero disabled and hourly reminders, in a major backflip.

Members of the Linux community have complained that the hot new sub-notebook from Asus, the eeePC, may have violated the spirit of the Linux General Public License (GPL). Some Linux advocates claim the eeePC has not included required source code with the installed Xandros Linux distribution and does not easily enable users to install another distro. However, there are indications that eeePC fans probably don't care.

The market has spoken and it clearly wants a consumer Linux computer. The sub-notebook Asus Eee PC has not been able to meet demand and is predicted to sell up to 5 million units worldwide next year. If that comes true a single product will have on its own shifted consumer Linux market share upwards a notch or two. However, there is a threat on the horizon for this break-through Linux product - and it comes from Asus itself.

My last commentary on the new Asus Eee PC Linux sub-notebook raised so many hackles among its fanboy users that I was amazed. First, I didn't realize the Eee PC has a fanatical fan club in Europe and second, how much they resemble some Apple fans in behaviour. As I received so many vitriolic comments, I thought I would clarify further why I think the Eee PC falls short of the mark of what's needed by users.
