I disagree, most people will wipe it and put a pirated copy of Windows on.

The guys running those WalMarts there in Las Cruces,
NM are * OUT OF THEIR MINDS *, In Texas, WalMarts ran
out of stock with those $200 computers. They did not
have Fedora :(, but they had gOS an ubuntu derivative
with Enlightment desktop, I wanted to get one for an
aunt but the Walmarts close by ran out and some did
not carry them :(. These computers are a big success
and there are others at MadTux as well. The story to
be continued with $300 laptops, this surely will get
more people to look at linux :).
Regards,
Antonio
