What?

This CAN’T be correct.

The Linux hounds have been insisting the netbooks were finally where they were finally going to pierce the market, weren’t all of the original models only loaded with Linux?

Yet another “year of the Linux” fails again I guess. Unless you’re in China, where they FORCE you to use it.

Uh, no. Truth is, the Linux loaded machines typically come with a crappy sized hard drive, while the Windows loaded ones come with a big nice HD. Ya gotta buy the Windows model to get the better hardware. So one must pay the Windows tax, THEN download their linux of choice. Or get stuck with the crappy hard drive.
