Yeah, friend told me Asus made his own distro of Ubuntu od Debian (I think he said Ubuntu), to work optimized to the Eee's hardware, but I think what I see here is KDE, it's certainly not Gnome. Gotta visit Wiki once more.
Here's what I got: "the Eee PC runs a custom tab-based interface.", and the interesting thing is that in the box on the right it says Linux OS, but Linux link leads to Xandros, and it says: "The Xandros GUI uses a modified version of KDE", but also, it continues: "which includes replacing Konqueror with its own proprietary file manager called XFM". Maybe they're bad guys :-)
XP will and does work. Asus stated that the EEE would be able to run XP flawlessly, and I've already seen pictures of a black EEE that ran XP on a russian Site. It's just cheaper to ship the device without an expensive piece of sh*t... ahem... I meant Software from Redmond.
the new eee 900 does use the black space for a bigger screen but also a bigger price
