So what is the deal with this. Has anyone been able to figure out if this article is legitimate or just a complete bluff? After I went through the links I would have to agree with the majority here and say this is not Asus’ doing.

i really didn’t find it that big of a deal honestly. I don’t like Eee PC’s and never saw the big deal in them. I just found it interesting tid bit of news.
