But is it true? (Score 1)

Nice story, but it doesn't seem to coincide with the prices quoted (for actual pre-ordering) on the ASUS Australia website. http://www.asusnotebook.com.au/eee-pc.php They have what look to be identical 20Gb e900's listed for $799(XP) and $649 (Xandros). That's a AUS$150 saving on the Linux machine. The eeePC (4Gb) sells at a $100 price difference between the XP and Linux versions. I can't find anything (other than the vaguely sourced story quoted above) that suggests any other pricing.
