When we started Lindows.com, we came up with the slogan 'Bringing Choice to Your Computer.' Microsoft admitted in their SEC filings: 'To the extent the open source model gains increasing market acceptance, we may have to reduce the prices we charge and revenues may decline.'
Several progressive retailers are providing OS choices now, including Walmart and Idot.com. Idot.com has a pull-down list of operating system choices along with their respective costs, so the consumer knows exactly how each choice impacts their pocketbook.
Lindows.com is now available for the first time by itself for just $49. Walmart has never sold a non-Microsoft operating system — until now. Fry's Electronics has recently started stocking LindowsOS in every one of their more than 20 store locations.
