Walmart.com ditches the OS in new PCs

[Deepak Saxena]

Seems like a waste of time/money on wal-mart's and microtel's part to me.  
When was the last time you or I or any "tech-savy" customer bought a
computer or computer part at wallmart? The average consumer is not going 
to buy an OS-less PC and install something on top.  They expect a
working solution when they buy a PC, so who is wal-mart going to sell
this to?
