Windows-based EeePC cheaper than Linux one? Not in the UK

In the UK the two models are the same price. I got mine yesterday (the Linux version naturally) and so far I'm really impressed. The large screen is a huge improvement over the original models.

Windows-based EeePC cheaper than Linux one? Not in the NZ either

Both the ASUS Eee PC 900 XP version and the ASUS Eee PC 900 Linux are NZ$749 ( incl GST sales tax ).What is more of a concern is that if you convert the price over to Australian Dollars the Linux version is AUD$33.50 more expensive than its NZ counterpart even including the NZ GST.
