While it is technically feasible Leopard is still a bit buggy and the only mac OS that is fairly stable on the eee is OSX tiger. 2. Vista is a waste of time on any platform not to mention you would have to upgrade the eee to 2G of RAM in order for it to work decently with Vista which isn't a big deal in of itself but a waste of time when XP runs great with the default 512M or 1G of RAM. 3. yes 4. From what I have seen, the 8G model is sold out everywhere I have looked at the moment. You may have to wait a bit in order to get your hands on one.

Thanks Max You should be able to google for "osx on eee" and find what you are looking for. As for Vista, the procedure should be pretty close to installing XP, search is your friend. Paul here has done it. Here ya go: vista on eee Edited January 13, 2008 by EdinKali
Guest Paul (MVP) Posted January 14, 2008 Report Posted January 14, 2008 I have a Macbook and a Eee, I think you'll find going from the mac to the Eee very difficult - the Mac is a vastly superior machine, if a little bigger! Best hope Apple release a smaller Mac at Macworld :) P
