Asus blames lack of Linux Eee PC 901s on Atom hold-ups

From Register Hardware UK -

Asus blames Intel and not Microsoft for the apparent absence of the Atom-based Eee PC 901 from UK suppliers' shelves. Windows XP-loaded 901s are widely available from British resellers. It seems all manufacturers are experiencing delays in shipments of Atom CPUs from Intel, impacting orders both large and small, no matter what volumes were previously promised.

Asus claims to produce Linux and XP Eees in equal numbers and will continue to do so but says the Linux Eees are the better selling models.
