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.

Asus had the hardware for my last system build. Being in the market for a upgraded GPU currently; looks like it won't be the next Asus GPU up from my current.
I'll vote with my wallet and give money to a hardware vendors that does not work towards a mono-OS market.
