Asus has apparently already shipped 350,000 Asus Eee PCs, exceeding the company’s estimates by 50,000 units.

Asus really uses its first mover advantage very well. Also interesting is the fact that this means 350,000 Linux end user computers are going to be in customer’s hands. This really starts to be a big issue for Microsoft to battle those low-cost Linux notebooks and PCs in 2008.
