From News.com - comes a story about Walmart.com now selling PC machines without an OS.

While most of you will question whether or not this is Amiga related, the fabulous part is the bigger picture that companies are starting to realize that;

1) not everyone wants Windows
2) Windows is usually one of the most expensive pieces included with most store-bought machines.
3) Get rid of Windows, and they can sell a lot more machines to a lot more people.

Hats off to Wal-Mart for being the first major retail chain to truly recognize that fact.
