It looks like Asus do not sell well in the Philippines so AsusTek decided to stop shipping Linux Version of Eee PC in the Philippines. The company will still continue to provide Windows XP version for at least one more year.

Most of the Filipinos I guess are not interested in learning new OS. Maybe because most Filipinos are just starting to learn Windows XP as well, and they are not ready to get overflowing technical knowledge yet. Most Filipinos grew up with Windows XP and that’s also probably one reason why they love XP over Linux. I still hope that the next generation starts to love Linux too.

Are we really not into Linux??? Not me at least.
