Asus has NOT abandoned Linux

,----[ Quote ]
| We came across this article written by Steven 
| Nichols, Computer World, who believes Linux 
| is dead on netbooks. Well, guess what Asus 
| Asia has been selling the Asus Eee 1201T with 
| Express Gate which is actually a customized 
| Linux OS. This allows them to sell this AMD 
| NEO-powered machine under $380 because Linux 
| does not cost a penny. It comes with AMD NEO 
| processor, 2GB RAM, 320GB HDD, 12.1-inch 
| 1366Ã768 pixel display and a very spacious 
| chiclet keyboard.

| First ASUS unleashes netbooks with GNU/Linux. 
| Then they push that other OS. Now they are 
| selling good netbooks with no OS but 
| Expressgate. Whatâs with that?
| 
| Surely M$ does not approve. Is this another 
| sign that M$ is losing its grip on OEMs?

| Slapping on Linux solves the cost issue, and
| devotees of open-source operating systems
| may rejoice at the prospect of dodging the
| infamous "Microsoft tax." But does Linux
| really work as well as Windows on a system
| like this? And most importantly, is the
| 1201T's hardware compelling, regardless of
| the OS situation?
