These have to be worse then any E-machine ever made.....

NO modem
NO Floppy drive
1 pci slot of which 1 is free....
It runs off a shitty brand that doesn't even match cyrix yet is comparable to an 800mhs Celeron.
An it doesn't run windows! It runs Lindow's a flavor of Linux.....

Though it may look an be cheap as hell....this is the future my friends. MS your time is at an end!

BTW: Since it's from walmart I'll give this warning...

Moonshine and any flavor of Linux do NOT mix....


Peace all, Later

MS had got walmart to stop selling those machines, the lindows being a play off of windows and such. ah, but yes, then I remembered you cant copyright a simple generic word. Not so smart now are you Gates?

I heard about that and hope that walmart can manage to get their average computer customer to buy, use, and enjoy these things... if so, being that they are such a huge retailer of, well, everything.... it is very likely that M$ will be foced to adapt somewhat. Or we will see the battle of the heavyweights one more time. Mall- Wart vs. Microshite, that ought to be an interesting contest. And I believe that walmart would ride it out too.... I believe the whole reason they are not using windows anymore is that they dont want to deal with microsoft... walmart is accustomed to getting their sale discounts even if they go over the customary 10 day limit that is agreed to on time of reciept. and M$ wouldnt let them do this....

anyways, Im rambling, its early, Ive got to go to work. But I think Walmart will toe the line on this one- and IF the product is successful- it will force microsoft to adapt somewhat.
