Maybe.  On the other hand, consider this A: a crossover device, and B: a stunning step from PC Magazine, who's been wholly in the pocket of MS for decades it seems.

Here's the other reason why: the XP version just came out, and just now is the EEE PC hitting non-techie people.  I suspect by this time next year, more EEE PCs with XP will have been sold than Linux.  By the way, a bonus here is that they are specifying a LINUX EEE PC and just dropping XP on it to dual-boot.  I'll bet that next year we have the reverse.

Cheers,
R~
