On the eeePC forums, I found numerous threads on Vista on the eeePC (mostly on new versions 901, 1000, etc.)
I could not resist and decided to try to put on your 701 4G.
I downloaded the image of Vista Ultimate (for Acronis), installed it on the internal hard drive.
Earned :)
That's what came of it ...

:) you can work quite comfortably, for surfing, ICQ, music and working with texts - with a head. I did not try the video, but the alternative video driver allows you to set the screen resolution from 800 * 600 to 1600 * 900;) and this is on 7 inches of the screen - a mode for
pervert lovers of strange :)
Conclusion - eeePC is capable of more than it seems at first glance;)
