Walmart.com contributes to less than 0.1% of Walmart's 220Billion revenue, of which less than 4% comes from PC sales, of which maybe around 20% comes Microteck PC sales, of which maybe 50% come from OS-less/Lindows sales of which 80% may actually have Linux/Windows
Doing a quick & dirty math, I get a high end figure of 220,000 * 0.001 * 0.04 * 0.2 * 0.5 * 0.8
or 0.7 million dollars in sales or maybe around 1450 PC's. For Linux those maybe huge numbers, but remember their are 600 Million PC's in the world
Put it another way, Microtek doesn't sell any more number of PC's than an average white-box seller
As a Microsoft/Unisys PR manager, I would like to thank to everyone who made wehavethewayout popular.
Thanks to your obsessiveness about netcraft & pretty much useless arguments which web server you use to serve static web pages, we are actually able to make many CIO/CTO's register & have a look at what we have to offer in replacing big-irons hosting databases & directory servers(not web servers serving static web pages, in case you still havn't got it)
The best part was we never spent $1 on marketing this web-site, just released details to CNet.
Again, thanks to everyone, we never imagined we would get so many hits or people looking into it

Time for reality check & perspective

Intel testifying against Microsoft, & AMD for Microsoft. Expect great favors from MS to AMD, even an XBox2 contract. Time to invest in AMD
OTOH, What a quandry for slashdotters!!! Will they boycott AMD for sleeping with the enemy, support Intel for going againt MS?

It says Apache lost 4.75% to Microsoft in Web-site server marketshare. Its damn funny & can never happen
