Vista Running On An Eee PC

[HardOCP News]

Holy cow! Someone actually got Windows Vista installed on one of those Eee PCs from ASUS. Wow.

Asus Eee PC is, as expected, getting hacked every which way, and Brit Paul O'Brien has managed to squeeze the bloated Windows Vista onto the little Linux laptop. Using vLite, a tool to customize a Vista install before actually installing it, Paul shrunk Vista Home Premium and put the custom disk image onto a USB stick.

That video was with only 512MB main memory and 630MHz CPU speed. With 1GB and at 900MHz it should run much smoother.
