I was considering buying an Eee901 Linux version from this seller so I put one in the shopping cart to check the delivery prices.
I was amused at the opportunity given to purchase anti-virus and firewall software to go with it!
Nice try, but no thanks!

I think it's default rotating ad banner tbh and would be for Windows :-)
Nice reminder of why to avoid Windows though ;-)

At least they didn't use this guy for their support ad:

I think I would be concerned about only getting 1 week of free support. I guess any breakage happens after one week and this saves them money:lolflag:
Ditto on the virus scan and firewall being a generic ad but it is funny to see it on a Linux order anyway.

Many sites use him as their advertisement support guy...I think I've seen a good 5-10.
Hopefully for his sake, he's making a decent amount from each instance.
