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.

After all the nonsense with "Vista Capable", I wouldn't be surprised if Windows 7 actually had lower system requirements than it's not-so-illustrious predecessor.
Then, there's the possibility that MS is doing a special netbook version of 7, having seen how much market share it's already lost to Linux in that sector.
Then again, RAM is cheap and 2GB isn't so much these days.
