Asus Eee Pad comes with Tegra, ARM and Windows 7?

We grabbed a few minutes to play with Asus’ latest Eee Pad today and found Microsoft was secretly porting “Windows 7” to ARM!
Dubbed “Windows Embedded Compact 7”, build 1344 was compiled on May 28^th – just a few days before Asus showed off the Eee Pad to the Taipei audience today.

Asus uses its own HTC-esq program to overlay the basic Win-CE style OS underneath though: it’s less Win 7, more 98 still, but at least Asus’ flashy interface program looks nice and fast with some sweeping page and program transitions everyone loves.
The 10” Eee Pad EP101TC is just 675g, and 12.2cm thick (or, thin, if you’re a marketeer) and runs Nvidia’s Tegra chip, but we’re not sure if it’s old #1 or latest #2 just yet.
Asus might have made the 12” Pad a bit more useful with the docking station and keyboard, but the 10” Pad is far sexier than the fatter, “no compromise” EP121, with its more useful size and design for the form-factor.
