Google PC to Hit Walmart?
Fahrvergnuugen writes "According to latimes.com Google is set to launch the Google PC which will run Google's own operating system. From the article: 'Sources say Google has been in negotiations with Wal-Mart Stores Inc., among other retailers, to sell a Google PC. The machine would run an operating system created by Google, not Microsoft's Windows, which is one reason it would be so cheap -- perhaps as little as a couple of hundred dollars.'"
The google pc MUST come with an "I'm Feeling Lucky" button somewhere on the keyboard or I'm not getting one.

What OS will it run? GNU of course! - Google's Not Unix.

Um, has anybody else ever seen a PC? They already sell for as little as a couple of hundred dollars.

For the sake of his office furniture, let's hope Steve Ballmer realises it's only a rumour...

You must be new. Here are the basic rules of Slashdot.
1. We hate Microsoft. Anything they do is wrong. Bill Gates is stupid. Anything they do is evil.
2. We like Apple. Steve Jobs walks on water. Even when they do the same thing as Microsoft, its okay because its Apple.
3. We like Google. We think they're cool. Even when they do the same thing as Microsoft, its okay because they run Linux on most of their machines.
I want a new quote. One that won't spill. One that don't cost too much. Or come in a pill.
They won't make a clippy. We've already got slashdot members providing questions nobody wants answered, then answering them incorrectly.
