ASUS Eee PC 901s Hits In UK

As if we needed any further developments to muddy the Eee PC waters, it seems that there’s a curious lack of Linux-Based Eee PC 901s available at stores in the UK at the moment, and ASUS is apparently laying the blame squarely at Intel, not Microsoft.

As Register Hardware points out, that word comes after some speculation that Microsoft may have pressured ASUS to push the Windows XP-Based Eee PCs more heavily, but an ASUS spokesperson insists that the company produces Linux and XP-Based systems in equal amounts. The spokesperson adds, however, that Intel hasn’t been able to supply enough Atom processors to allow ASUS to keep up its pace, which seems to suggest that the Linux-Based 901s are harder to find simply because they’re sold out. It looks like folks in the UK won’t have to wait too much longer to get their Linux-fueled netbook fix, however, with some unspecified suppliers now pointing to increased availability in late July.
