The answer is on the third page, first paragraph. The answer is what I thought it would be: No.

To the author of this article. In Thailand , the Eee is not widely available. Secondly, WinXP is NOT preinstalled. The customer gets asked what he want, and if they want XP, it gets installed by the staff or vendor. Also, the XP is NOT doctored. It's pirated...Stolen.! And it's NOT because winxp is more popular...it's the ONLY thing they know. ( 99% of the population)

And please, don't tell me different. I live and work here for 13 Years now.
