We're still waiting to get our hands on the tiny, inexpensive (around £200 plus VAT) Asus eee PC - but the first reports appearing on the web confirm that Windows XP drivers are included in the box. This is great news for anyone who has a spare copy of the operating system, although we'd recommend only trying it on the version with 512MB of memory rather than the cheaper 256MB model.

The Asus website also suggests that the process for installing Windows is covered by the notebook's manual, and a press announcement confirms that models with Windows preinstalled will be available in future.
