12:56 PM EDT 		Sadly Asus announced that their ARM-based Eee PC on display on Computex yesterday is dead and they've pulled the laptop. While they say it's due to limited engineering resources I have to wonder what threat Microsoft used or what payoff was made. This is the "better with Windows" company all. Microsoft couldn't have them making ARM based systems, could they?

I've submitted the news article about this to LXer. Hopefully Scott or Sander will have it appear later today.
