Hi Barbara, I have the Asus EEE PC 1000 H and it works find with Windows XP and JAWS or Window-eyes. From everyone's descriptions of the NC10 these netbooks sound very similar. However, in the final analysis, it is down to personal preferences and comfort especially when using the keyboard which I gather from reading various reviews, differs slightly from one netbook to another. Below is a brief description of the Asus 1000 and it's features. The Asus EEE PC 1000 H netbook comes with 1gb ram, 80 gig harddisk, 10 inch screen WindowsX P preinstalled, 3 USB Ports, Mic/headphones jack, a memorycard reader, Bluetooth and wireless. Depending on usage, the battery can last up to 5 hours. Kind regards, Saeed
