Asus said the same to me when I got a netbook from them. I emailed them 
about their warranty before I wiped Windows but they said it was fine. 
Just don't expect us to support the software.

I think it would be a pretty poor show of any PC manufacturer to not 
warranty the hardware irrespective of what software is, or isn't, installed.
