Not what consumers wanted? They all sold out as fast as they were put on the shelves. Not quite sure what measurement WalMart wanted to use, but perhaps they just wanted to sell them only online, which is shipped to store.

And I bet most of 'em came back to the "Customer Returns" counter in about a week. I can just see Bubba picking up that cheap PC, then going home and trying to install that copy of MS Office 97 he's still got lying around. Probably didn't even know it was Linux, I bet Bubba said "Boy that Vista looks different..."

Linux just doesn't seem to fit with Wal-Mart.
