Asus has not always gotten it just right on the Eee PC’s software the the first time, but at least they do fix the problems the arise. Just recently, Asus issued a set of updates to the Eee PC’s software that should fix the out-of-the-box vulnerabilities that have been a point of concern for security conscious Eee PC users, according to CLUMPC.

The update also includes newer versions of some of the default software, although no major new features have been reported so far. Although I certainly think that any updates to the Eee PC’s software are good, I will be curious to see if any major new features are introduced in future updates or in the upcoming Eee PC 900. Right now it seems like the main attraction of the Eee PC is the hardware and, while that may never change, a lot more could be done to make the software a selling point as well. Even just making the interface look slicker (see Ubuntu Mobile) could help make the software a major attraction. Changes like this seem quite likely in the future, since Asus’s CEO has mentioned that style will become more of a focus in future Eee PCs.
