Wal-mart has decided to start selling computers that do not come preloaded with an operating system in order to attract more technically savvy people. Im thinking that perhaps this will not work, although I dont think it to be a bad idea. I personally dont want windows XP, but might not want to go through the pains of assembling my own pc in order to not be forced to pay for it. Maybe others will follow their example.
