As we all know, the Eee PC, running a modified Xandros, has been a major hit for Asus, and because of that, also a major hit for Linux. The device proved that a computer with a pre-installed Linux distribution can still be s successful machine, and many hoped that this would push Asus and other vendors to produce more computers with Linux pre-installed. This hope could be in vain after all if the new Windows XP-based Eee PC has anything to do with it.

From the ASUS Australian site, they are ONLY advertising 20GB versions. BOTH XP and Linux versions are 20GB and the pricing is different to the article.
EeePC with XP Home $799 AUD
EeePC with Linux $649 AUD
All hardware specs the same... So Windows is COSTING you $150 AUD.
