There is no way Walmart made a big profit on a $199 machines compare to Vista ones. I bet that is the real reason.

Yeah, 'cos Wal-Mart is well know for only stocking the highest priced items to protect its margins. It's not like you'll ever walk in there and find, say, a $30 DVD player instead of those $1,000 models they sell. Right. Wal-Mart tried to sell Linux, and it didn't work. You Linux fan-boys can come up with all the conspiracy theories you like, but I'll take them at their word on this one.
