The competition is vicious and effective, and Microsoft can't take 'em all out but it can sow the seeds of disaster with $0 OEM licenses it's not legally allowed to make nontransferable in many countries. And they'll still use half the battery under Linux. It's a great time to be a computer buyer. There’s any number of netbook makers, not just Asus.

Unfortunately, it turns out the eee has a deadly battery issue that makes it waste battery when turned off, making it quite useless. It seems this was fixed for later versions, but that made me sure not to ever purchase an ASUS computer anymore. I hope there better netbooks in the future. yes, they are freaking awesome.
