Windows-based EeePC cheaper than Linux one (APCMag)

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."
