Asus EEE 900 Windows XP statt Linux?

Ich musste etwas schlucken, als ich folgende Meldung auf Slashdot gelesen habe: It sounds crazy to say this, but the XP-based version of the Eee PC 900 (the new version with the 8.9″ screen) will actually be considerably cheaper than the Linux-based version. At the official launch today, the company told journalists that ‘Microsoft has been a longstanding supporter of Asus’ to explain the price discrepancy. And — get this — only the XP-based machine will be sold at mass-market retailers, while the Linux-based model will be consigned to computer stores.
