If you look at: http://www.asusnotebook.com.au/eee-pc.php you will see that for exactly the same specs (i.e., 8.9" screen and 20 GB storage):

Linux: AUD $649;

Windows: AUD $799.

If you opt for the 12 GB XP model then it costs the same at: AUD $649 (stated in the description for the Linux model).

The AUD $599 XP models are the 7" eeePCs with extra RAM and a TV tuner bundled.

APC Magazine must have it wrong!
