Subject: Far fewer Linux desktops at walmart.com

A few months ago, one used to see several different Linux desktops at walmart.com. There used to be a menu on the left side of the screen that let you choose between Windows Computers, Linspire machines, Xandros PCs, Sun Java Desktops, and machines with no OS. That's all changed now.

The # of Linux models is more than halved now compared to a year ago. I counted a total of 4 Linux models - 2 Linspire, 2 Xandros. According to archive.org, in March 2005, there were 10 Linux models.

Linux is not conquering customers' minds and hearts, even when it is preloaded on a PC. What a surprise! Loon lies have no effect on the marketplace. How shocking!

When can we expect the Loons to give up and switch to Windows enmasse? For every Loon including the Finn, there is a Windows machine with his name on it.
