Wal-Mart Lindows PCs Selling Well

andyring writes "CNN.com is reporting that sales of the $199 PCs have exceeded expectations. Although CNN terms them "full fledged, if low power," it seems customers don'd mind all that much if their computer does not run Windows and doesn't carry an Intel processor. Slashdot covered two reviews of those machines July 4."

and I have a large penis. See there's a direct correlation there. Lindows is cheap and easy just like me!

meet the Lindows

With apologies to Hanna-Barbera...

Lindows
Meet the Lindows
You're the modern Wal-Mart family
Prices
Are bottom rock
You're making Linux history
Let's force
Microsoft to retreat
This cheap
PC is so 31337!
When you're
Using Lindows
You can play all your Windows games
It still looks the same
You drive Bill Gates insane!

reminds me of this quote:

Pricetag outside matters more than Intel inside.

Two Reviews on July 4

[Captain Large Face]

"Slashdot covered two reviews of those machines July 4."

Makes a change from "Slashdot posted the same review of these machines twice on July 4."

AAUGHH!!

Okay, I nearly had a heart attack when I read this:

Freedom -- from Microsoft --

A split second passed where I thought that, somehow, Microsoft had either trademarked "Freedom", released a program named "Freedom" ("Microsoft Freedom"... perhaps an oxymoron like "Microsoft Works"?), or acquired the intellectual property rights to the entire concept of freedom. Man, I need to read less /.

I read slashdot because it's so hard to find anything else intelligent to read
