This contradits a lot of what I've been coming across recently. Apparently the Eee 901 and 1000 will cost much more than their predecessors, as discussed as 'confirmed' by Gizmodo (http://www.gizmodo.com.au/2008/06/_asus_prices_the_eee_pc_out_of_its_own_market_-2.html).
Also, I heard that they've stopped flying the Linux banner, which has shifted to Acer with it's Aspire One. At one of the recent computer stores, Microsoft banners were everywhere and almost all the demos were running XP. One banner said "Runs better with Windows", or something along those lines. Can't dig up the reference at the moment but seems like an interesting move.
