Most folks couldn't possibly drive to a Walmart that
participated in the 'experiment'.
Only some 600 stores, of the 10,000+ Wallmart stores.
even participated.
The fever ran high, for folks who wanted a GNU/Linux
machine, with the G OS (Google enhanced Linux )
system.
The four machines stocked in those few stores were
often sold out in the first day they were on the
shelf, and people were forced to wait a week and have
to fight to get a machine!
Like selling something that you hardly ever stock, and
then only in four items maximum is some kind of great
idea thought up by the idiots of Microsoft!
The 'experiment' was a success, actually. The entire
stocked 2400 systems were sold in retail stores each
week, and thousands more went out from the website,
each week, else why continued?
Walmart is smart enough to know a good-selling
product!
