Linux Has Been Tick Boxed

"Having used the pre-installed Linux on an MSI Wind, I can understand why people might want Windows instead. I don’t like using Suse. But with the EeePC, I would feel the other way round, happily chipping away on its modified Xandros OS. I wonder if the reason for Linux returns on the MSI Wind, is not because they were expecting Windows and it fell short - but that they were expecting the same Linux OS that they have seen on the EeePC? If you ask a lot of consumers what Linux is - they will describe the EeePC operating system, not the fully fledged systems like Ubuntu or Suse."
