“Technically, you can still get them with GNU/Linux, but the
company’s product page only announces the fact by omission, by not
listing the available operating system on some models.“All of which only makes the It’s Better with Windows campaign
puzzling — to all appearances, Microsoft already dominates the Eee
product line.“However, despite the first flurry of rumors that the campaign
was a hoax, Asus has admitted that the campaign is legitimate. In a
way, the news is a relief. For those of us who have looked askance
at Microsoft’s sponsoring of open source conferences and efforts to
create its own open source ecosystem, the It’s Better with Windows
site is a return to the familiar. At least when Microsoft is
spinning half-truths about free and open source software (FOSS),
you can be in no doubt where everybody stands.”
