Interesting pricing when you see them next to each other. The two
versions are the same price but XP gets 12G whereas the Linux version
has 20G.
What really amazes me is that these machines which started as rock
bottom price items are now considerably more expensive than a cheap
laptop. Maybe it's just that you have to pay the extra to be allowed
not to have Vista!
