Story: Asus to ship 60 percent of Eee PCs with Windows XP
Where's the evidence?
Where is the evidence that 60% of the Eees sold this year will ship with Windows XP?
The comment from the JP Morgan analyst is disingenuous given that everyone raves about how easy the Linux Eee is to use and *they've been selling like hotcakes*.
Put simply, what is the compelling reason to pay ~$200 extra for an Eee with Windows XP?
A Windows Eee won't come with any useful applications and you'll have to buy anti-virus software to boot.
The truth about low cost computing is that nobody really cares whether the machine is running Windows or Linux as long as its cheap, its easy to use and it works.
Which, come to think of it, is why this article doesn't make any sense at all, on any level.
