Last month we covered an article titled, "MSI: Wind Doing Well, Linux Version Not So Much" which revealed that Linux MSI Wind netbooks saw a return rate upto four times higher than the Windows equivalent. But in a recent interview with the CEO of Asus he revealed that Linux and Window versions of Asus Eee PC have similar return rates. He also described the plans for 2009 and talked about some changes to come in the Operating System for the netbooks.

I always thought this was bunk. It's like saying that people return Symbian, Android and iPhone mobiles because they don't run Windows Mobile or that your new TV doesn't have a Windows menu. People want to browse the web, get to their e-mail and do a few other set tasks. There's no way that you can install and use all the software that people use on Windows on a netbook. It's too impractical to use most applications and it is obvious to everyone when they buy it.
