Depends on what one hear by that. At the time, it was too slow to be
able to run the last version of Windows. So, it couldn't be called a
first class computer. On the same time, Ubuntu was running fine on it,
so it was enough for a day to day usage. And as everyone started to buy
it Microsoft started to be afraid and agreed to sell it with an obsolete
version of Windows.

The eee PC 701 originally ran Xandros. I doubt Ubuntu would have worked. 
I installed Q4OS. It took several attempts when I got too greedy with the
applications to be installed.
