Agreed. I just bought an Eeepc that has a dual core and 2gb of RAM, which as I read it falls afoul of the limits and presumably has a higher cost license. It was only $370, and while I realize that price was probably higher due to having windows on it, that didn't exactly kill the product... I still bought it. It's annoying, since I immediately formatted and put Easy Peasy on it anyway, but it's hard to find any ready-built machine without a bundled OS, so this is nothing new.



You should try to get a refund for the Windows license (see http://www.linux.com/archive/articles/59381).


Oy, vey!

Use fatwallet.com next time -- netbooks are popular on there, and as the linux ones are cheaper, they're often mentioned.

It still (probably) won't come with your favorite distro, but at least it comes without the windows price gouge.


Eee with dual core? Which model?
