I’ve played with Boxee on my Hackintosh, Ubuntu, and Windows. Although it handles web content and local content well, it doesn’t stream to other boxes and I’m not into the social part of it. Still this article at Lifehacker has some nice tips.

This looks to be another winner from ASUS. I love my 1000 HE, but a convertible touch screen at a reasonable price would be great. I’ve heard conflicting reports about multitouch and Windows 7. The ASUS website doesn’t mention multitouch, but I’ve seen it demoed. Gizmodo has a video of it as well, but at the end they say the multitouch won’t be shipping right away. So maybe the best thing to do is wait for the Windows 7 version in the fall.
