I get them all pirate... so why does it even matter? If all you do is to surf the web and chat (or write stuff), that's another story. Yeah, Linux does have great open source software for all types of areas, but they're not good enough (with a couple of exceptions, which are no good for me).

I have both windows and linux on my laptop. Linux runs faster and has fewer crashes than windows. I have enjoyed linux much better than windows, and I don't even have vista!

Makes sense as you'll get the bigger HD... Couldn’t you just but the Linux version and then simply reinstall the OS to be XP???

Well, XP costs more money than Linux, so to make the two models cost the same you need to add hardware to the Linux machine. Could it possibly be that Microsoft has slipped some cash under the door to ensure that Linux machines do not sell for less than Microsoft machines? Enough money would make up for the drop in sales due to the higher price. Microsoft gained market dominance by being the cheaper choice. I bet they'll do almost anything to keep from losing the bottom end market segment. “It did not say why the Linux models were getting larger SSDs.”
