Wal-Mart to Offer Wal-Mart Notebooks
ducomputergeek writes "Cnet News.com is running an article that Wal-Mart plans to launch its own line of notebook computers. I wonder if these will run Lindows or XP. We've purchased a couple low cost boxes with no OS's for cheap file servers and they've worked pretty well."
I know, this is getting bad. Seems it's just more crap, the quality of slashdot stories is lacking.

Just what I've been looking for from the morality-dictating retail king.
I will expect features like:
-Built-in browser prevents users from viewing maximmagazine.com, stuffmagazine.com and fhmus.com.
-Built-in MP3 software doesn't play songs with profanity in them, and will not play Sheryl Crow's second album at all.
If they went with XP the price would go up by at least $100, and all of the things you mentioned are much easier to do on OS X (yes I'm well aware that it won't run on x86) than god awfull Windows XP.
Carpe meam simiam!
>All I know about Bush is I had a job when Clinton was president.
And as soon as bush got into office you lost your job? That's really strange. Did you ever think that it's the stuff Clinton did prior to Bush that caused the problems?

Somebody mod this back up or metamod the idiots who called this flamebait. It's a perfectly valid criticism of WalMart. WalMart employees are paid so little they have to go on public assistance: the rest of us subsidize WalMart's profitability.
All's true that is mistrusted
stoped. -- All I know about Bush is I had a job when Clinton was president.
With spelling like that, it's no wonder you dont have a job.

wow, so rather than put in a little effort, like say, about 2 hours worth of downloading over at suprnova, you opted instead to give them an obscure OS that less than 3% of computer users have.
way to go, i'm sure you've made your parents proud, that is, assuming they're the Beverly Hillbillies before they struck oil.
Junior, hah. Granted, I'm only a year older, but I did get a free roof from 16-18, so I guess I was a spoiled brat. I "abuse capitalism" myself - I buy at the *lowest price available*, period, and there's no I'm going to spend more on purely moral grounds (and I personally think you're a self-serving jackass for doing such). Costco, Wal-Mart, Stop&Shop, you name the global Conglom-O, I'm probably a patron. Funny thing though, by being an amoral, worker-crushing capitalist pig, I get to spend a very nice three weeks a year mincing around Europe like the bourgeois bastard I cheerily admit to being. Oh, and on top of all this i put away about 20% of my pay. FYI, my takehome pay is a little over 800/week.

So is wal*mart now sort of like the state run stores of comunist russisa back in the days of the cold war?
