Can I change this computers Operating system to Windows?

http://www.lightinthebox.com/New-UMPC-with-Wifi-eee-pc-XBurst-400-MHz-128M- RAM–1GB-NAND-Flash-7–PANEL–N07103-_p29053.html

I don’t know if I can use Linux, so I’d like to change it to somthing I’m use to.
The problem with changing it is that there is very limited memory, so the exchange might not work.

Still, very limited memory might not make this possable.

yeah, that can’t be your hard-drive as nobody has a harddrive that small, and if that is the case no Windows will go on it.

thats the problem with all these small laptops, the solid state harddrives are great but too small. They do make solid state drives up to 256 GB. but you wont find them in comertial setups yet. Thats why i just bought a samsung NC10 also small and protable but 160GB of memory

If memory serves win 98 would be fine. But there are alot of small and light linux versions you could use.

I wouldnt worry about being able to use it tho as most of these eepc or acer or small pcs with no hardrive have really locked down versions of linux that are meant for people that have never used the operating system before. So they will be really really easy to use and not confusing at all.

The flip side is it drives us guys that use linux every day mad lol. but hey ho

Well… the problem is that I like to program in python, and I like to share my creations on other peoples computers. Usually, these computers will be running Windows XP, so if I program in Linux, I might run into some problems along the way.

Then again, the info in the link above said that it was a “Windows-friendly Linux Operating System”…

I know that Linux normaly has python built right into it… hmm, I guess I wouldn’t have any problems.
