Back when the whole netbook thing started, Asus was king of the hill with a focus on netbooks with Linux pre-installed. Since they were kind of popular, it didn't take Microsoft long to start working together with Asus to 'port' Windows XP to the Asus line of netbooks, and with that, to other netbooks as well. The result was that Linux netbooks are now harder to find for many people. While Dell committed itself to Linux on netbooks, Asus has decided to just skip the first date and jump right into bed with Microsoft.

Weird. I normally use Windows (Vista on the laptop, XP on the desktop) but also have Ubuntu Jaunty installed on the laptop for occasional fun. My observations are that Firefox is faster on Linux than on either Windows version. In fact, Firefox sluggishness made me switch to Google Chrome which I happily use on Windows now.
Just my $.02, YMMV, etc.
