Does anyone have an email address for the European Union anti trust dept.?

Shows that MS don't want "entry-level" hardware to be educating PC/Laptop users that they don't need Windows.

Earlier in the week Ebuyer received a stock of 20 Linux Eee900 laptops and a stock of 20 of the Xp version.

Guess which ones sold out?

The fact that Asus have chosen to offer a Windows version of the Eee900 has put me off the Eee "brand"

I'm going to wait to see what else will come along this summer, there are a few very interesting alternatives in the pipeline.

instead of copying/pasting your post from a previous post of a thread with the same subject, how about just letting the OP know there's already a thread on this?

Wrong way round, but never mind.
fatality_uk had already posted in that thread as well I believe, but never mind.
Thanks for your suggestion.
