Most Asustek Eee PCs would feature Windows XP

Asustek Computer has said that most of the Eee PCs they would ship this year would be loaded with Windows XP as the operating system.

The machine debuted with Linux OS.

A company representative said: “About 60 percent of them will have Windows XP operating system.”

They are aiming to ship as many as 5 million units this year compared to 300,000 units shipped in 2007.

Market analyst Alvin Kwock spoke about this low cost computing machine: “A Windows Eee PC is more attractive to buyers because people are just not used to using Linux-based computers.”
