GrahamK brought up the SSD in another thread, and I posted a link debunking that myth. The article I linked to describes in detail how the SSD actually stores data.
I run XP on my Eee and BlitzMax runs fine using OpenGL or DirectX drivers in full-screen or windowed mode.
The "issue" QuietBloke mentions is not an issue or a bug. He doesn't understand what he is doing. He is sizing the window by client size, so naturally it is bigger than the 640x480 he is shooting for. All you need to do is change the method you use for sizing your window.
Also, you can set the Eee display to 800x600. It does not mess up the way things look. To get the 600 pixels, the 480 pixel viewing area is scrollable so you can see apps that are up to 600 pixels high.
