Newsforge reports: "In a move that appears to be a coup for Michael Robertson et al, Wal-Mart's online store is offering eight different Microtel PCs with LindowsOS included. The computers sell for USD$299 to $599 and ship in one to seven days."

Wal-Mart shipping PCs with Lindows preinstalled : Comment 16 of 45 | ANN.lu |
Posted by Daniel Miller on 15-Jun-2002 22:35 GMT | While I am not in favor of ANN becoming DEEPLY involved with Linux news (like "Redhat 7.3 Now Available" or whatever) I think an article like this is very nice to read on ANN now and then. In my opinion Teemu <sp?> made an excellent decision to run this. I would also definitely like to see QNX stuff now and then, and BeOS stuff now and then and so on.
The reason this news is important is because one of the few retailers with the ability to stand up to Microsoft appears to be doing so. This puts two monstrous corporations at loggerheads with each other, which is just where we want them! |
