Why oh why don't asus cater to my needs?

Why can't I get a 9" Eee PC with a 20gb HDD and XP?

I get either XP and 12gb or linux with 20.

I know, the extra 8GB is the offset of the cost of XP... but I'd rather pay a little more for a 901+ with a 20gb SSD. I really want XP on my Eee (I use too many windows apps, and just don't want to make the switch to linux) but I think 12GB would be useless to me.

Only other options seem to be an Eee with linux, then buy a copy of XP seperately (£55), or get the XP version and some SD cards. Anyone know how fast/slow it is to use an SD card or two to store data? And does the Eee 901 support SDHC?

Question is, is it worth £55 for the extra 8GB, or would I be better off with a £35 class 6 16GB SD card?

Gah, why can't it be more like anything else, where I have more options than pounds.

Edit: It is SDHC compatible (read jon, read), but it's significantly slower. Question is still whether it's worth the extra £20 for an extra 8GB. I guess 12 is enough for my programs, and documents on a 4/8GB SD card?

Get a Advent then, bigger, screen hard drive and cheaper.
