We recently reported that Carphone Warehouse had recalled their Linux webbook, as customers prefer a Windows OS over Linux.

When it comes to Eee PCs though, the return rate for Linux and Windows are similar explains Jerry Shen, Asus CEO. In Europe customers are more inclined to purchase the Linux netbook model. Overall Eee PCs have a low return rate.

Jerry Shen also shed details about a touch screen Eee PC in 2009 as well as Windows 7 coming to the Eee PCs. He explained that Eee PCs will skip Vista and instead use Windows 7 as it’s next operating system, making only Windows XP, Linux and Windows 7 being the only OS’s installed.

Easy Mode Windows XP will also be released in the Q4 of 2008. Easy Mode is for novice computer users providing a simple interface with the ability to use the full operating system.
