Windows-based EeePC cheaper than Linux one (APCMag)
[Posted May 7, 2008 by corbet]
Here's
an
APC Magazine article which proclaims that the Windows-based EeePC 900
will cost less than the Linux version - though the fine print notes that
the Linux-based system comes with more storage. "
APC played briefly
with the machines on show at the launch. The XP version of the Eee boots
quite speedily for a Windows box, but is still notably slower than its
Linux counterpart. Even Asus' press release promoting the product
acknowledges that the Linux machine is faster to get started. 'It provides
a fast boot-up time, ideal for quick internet access while waiting for
public transport or taking notes on-the-go,' it breathlessly
proclaims."
