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.

Well to be fair he said he thinks the return rate is low and he believes they're roughly even. Certainly he wasn't definite. It didn't read to me that he really knew for sure about the return rates or the breakup of Windows or Linux returns.
We really need to see real numbers before concluding either way.
