I've been asking a number of dutch computer shops, since they started advertising the Eee 901 with ms-windows, when they are going to offer the Linux version.
There are 2 reasons I want the Linux version: I don't want a single cent of my money to end up at Microsoft, and it has a bigger SSD.
The ones that replied (Not the smallest chains! Computerland and MyCom) said that they had no plans to do so.
Are all those shops really so mindboggling stupid, or are they just pretending?
According to The Register, in the UK the Linux version is outselling the MSWindows version.

No, I hadn't seen that one yet. But I'm sure, if I would wait for it, that there would be another interesting announcement for some even later machine. That's the plague of computing, isn't it? I'm not going to let me be distracted in this way :-)
