Asus Expects Windows Eee PC To Outsell Linux Counterpart 6 To 4

Asus has never been one to shy away from making from making bold predications about it’s fast-selling Eee PC, and it’s now come out with yet another feat of prognostication,

saying that it expects it’s forthcoming Windows-based Eee PC to outsell its Linux-based counterpart by a ratio of 6 to 4. As PC World points out, that’s despite the fact that the Windows version will cost nearly twice as much as the cheapest Linux-based Eee PC. Asus chairman Jonney Shih seems undaunted by that fact, however, and assures us that “a lot of people have been waiting for the Windows version.”
