Wal-Mart shoves Linux PCs off store shelves, not web site

Wal-Mart's experiment with selling cheap Linux-based PCs in its stores has apparently come to a close. Starting last October, the retail giant stocked desktops from the Green PC line manufactured by Everex. That stock ultimately sold out, but Wal-Mart has apparently decided not to refresh it. The Associated Press quotes a company spokesperson, referring to the machines, as saying, "This really wasn't what our customers were looking for."

yeah, read earlier that about 150 units took NINE to TEN months to be "sold out".

The customers have spoken, even if the open-source commies don't want to come out of their denial.

but fact is linux cant be kept down forever.

Bladestar5902d ago (Edited 5902d ago )

is being for ever... yeah since 1984... linux is a great OS... but the founder was scary... lots of weed if you know what I mean... that picture was probably responsible for the initial failure to capture the mass market...

incogneato5902d ago

Good. All this open source linux crap is pissing me off. Linux sucks really bad and I feel sorry for people who use it to be cool or rebellious against "MICRO$OFT!!!"

bumnut5902d ago

people use it because it is free and more stable than windows.

I was hoping for something different from Coalition, not Gears 6 so soon.
Their expertise in UE development could've propelled them to try out other IPs using the new UE5.
But guess, given recent MS' state, Gears 6 was the 'safer' call for the studio. But still hope they venture other IPs or even other genres ... at least FPSs in future?

Microsoft seems only interested in maximizing profits through its biggest IPs at this point.

So soon? Its been 5 years since Gears 5, longest gap between games in the franchise.

I was hoping for better but Microsoft being safe again....

Why would people be less angry? If MS made it's own games instead of buying up what was already available then we wouldn't be in the situation that everyone is angry at.

MS is the problem.

Just forget what happened and keep supporting Microsoft!

Fuck MS and Phil. I already told that shit bag off on Twitter, if the dumb ass responds I highly doubt it, I will go off much worse. What a fucking disgrace MS and Phil are to the gaming community.
