Look what we have here, after plummeting on top of the Amazon bestsellers lists, Windows 7 Eee PCs have been suddenly pushed down by a non-Windows 7 Eee PC. And guess what it is? – the Eee PC 1005HA running Windows XP instead.
Did that surprise you a bit? The Eee PC 1005HA running on Windows XP sells for $358.89 while the model with Windows 7 sells for around $376.99. It's around $18 difference in price and you'd already have a faster Eee PC with better specs and features and yet the inferior model is still preferred by users?
What could be the reason then? Users still not convinced that Windows 7 is better than Windows XP? Users still want to buy some time before upgrading to Windows 7? Price is certainly not an issue since the price difference is not that much.
Let's see if this trend continues as more and more reviews of Windows 7-powered netbooks come out. In the meantime go check out Amazon's bestsellers and find out if your netbook is among them.
