Asus recently announced their plans to ship five million Eee PCs this year, with 60% of them running Windows XP.

According to Download Squad, while the mass media is spinning this story to make it sound like Microsoft is eroding Linux’s market share, the opposite is so. Asus sold 300,000 units last year running Xandros Linux, a far cry from the 5 million they expect to sell this year. According to Vaughan-Nichols, Asus will ship more Linux PCs this year than “all other Linux PC vendors combined up until 2008″!
