ASUS Notebooks and Eee Series PCs Get Windows 7 Enhancements

ASUS, the fastest-growing notebook brand and pioneer of the netbook,
today announced that a select group of its notebooks and Eee Series
PCs—including the Eee PC, Eee PC Touch, EeeBox PC and EeeTop PC—will
feature exclusive enhancements that are designed to extend and improve
the overall Windows 7 experience. The applicable ASUS notebooks, which
will come installed with 64-bit versions of Windows 7, promise a level
of performance and security over and beyond that of notebooks running
previous versions of Windows—most notably up to 40%* faster bootups and
server-level security with enhanced core protection. Similarly, ASUS’
Eee Series PCs running Windows 7 will boast exclusive features that
make them easier to use, faster, more energy efficient and more fun**
than identically-spec’ed PCs from other brands—fulfilling ASUS’ promise
that "Life is Eeeasy with Windows 7".

All ASUS notebooks installed with Windows 7 will run 64-bit versions
of the operating system. This allows the notebooks to fully utilize the
vastly-higher RAM ceiling that 64-bit Windows 7 affords—up to
128GB—dramatically improving their multitasking capabilities and
processing speeds. 64-bit Windows 7-equipped ASUS notebooks will also
boot up up to 40%* faster than competing notebooks, thanks to FastBoot
technology which shortens notebook boot times to as low as 30 seconds*.
ASUS worked very closely with Microsoft Corp. on performance
improvements in Windows 7 on ASUS PCs.

The marriage of Eee Series PCs and Windows 7 is the ultimate
expression of the Eee brand’s "Easy, Excellent, Exciting" mantra.
Windows 7-equipped Eee Series PCs allow users to enjoy near-instant
access to the web and beyond with Fast Bootup Technology. They also
feature Eee Docking or Eee Bar, user-friendly shortcut bars that give
users direct and intuitive access to applications and web services, as
well as ASUS @Vibe which serves as users’ window to a world of
web-based multimedia entertainment. Furthermore, ASUS WebStorage gives
users additional online storage space, allowing them to easily backup
and share their files. With these exclusive usability features, life is
truly "Eeeasy" with Windows 7.
