Hi Martijn, I'm not sure you're right, but things can change: a few years ago I saw the EEE 900 or 901 @ MediaM..... for €390 (Win) while the same device was available with Xandros for €299; so this is (/was) more than only €7. The problem with the 1225C is that it doesn't seem to be available anyway, not with Win nor with Ubuntu.
