I take a quick look at how Windows Vista Home Basic runs on a stock ASUS EEE 701.
Verdict: Usable if you can excuse some long loading times for apps, which probably would have ran much better if they we're running from the internal SSD, I'd recommend most to stick with XP for this model, but the choice for Vista is there if you feel like putting in a bit of effort and sacrificing a lot of SSD space.

@sulmann26 I did actually try Win7 and it was a bit faster, just wanted to try Vista as an experiment really. I actually quite liked the original Linux it came with too, but was just too outdated.
