Well, the biggest retailrer, Wallmart, is already doing it and selling them for $200.

Uh, Yeaaaaaaaaahhhh. Rrrrrrrrrrrright. I have news for you: Just because a store sells lots of fishing tackle and big jars of mayonnaise and beanie babies and camping equipment doesn't exactly make them the vendor of choice for computers. LMFAO!

This will spread eventually to others...

Don't hold your breath. You're in for a long wait.

Betting against Wallmart is not very smart. It seems everything they go into comes up roses. However, the monopoly of PC makers on which you count on to keep the MS monopoly going is very brittle. There are numerous local shops which build to order, and also sell barebones systems, even CompUSA is doing that now. So people do not have to buy a computer with Windows in it anymore. There are choices and choice is what destroys monopolies (monopoly pricing helps too!).
