Today we announced the first place in the world where you can buy a LindowsOS computer — Walmart.com. The complete line-up ranges from $299 to $599. For about the cost of a game console, a shopper can now buy a sufficiently powered computer for most tasks in a business, school or home.
Schools can now afford a row of computers in each classroom. Every household can afford the benefit of computing. No longer will computers be a planned family purchase costing thousands, but rather they'll be more like TVs where every household has at least one.
An even more significant dimension is Click-N-Run, which radically changes the software business. A consumer can pay a single payment of just $99 for access to a warehouse of over 1,000 products they can own permanently. All the LindowsOS computers from Walmart.com come with a trial account allowing any 3 programs to be loaded immediately.
