It comes with Linux version of Word Processors/Spread Sheet etc. Also, you can get Linux versions of Firefox and Thunderbird (Mail Client)
If you want to run something like oziexplorer, then have a look at WINE, www.winehq.org

That is a pretty keen price for the 900 series. The thing that would worry me about buying this series is that in other world markets the 900 series was replaced within months by the 901 series that had a quicker processor, new bluetooth protocol, way better battery life and some bug fixes from the 900. It would seem the 900 was rushed out to match some other Ultra Mobile laptops that were hitting the market.
Whether we see the 901 in Australia is another story but I would be scared that Asus are stock dumping the 900 in Australia as the rest of the world swallows up the 901.
Still some 7 series around at sub $400 prices at the moment - good buying.
Cheers
