Please, any of you, do get back to me if you have any evidence to support your assertions that Microsoft paid Walmart to discontinue the product...

I guess the Vole has enough money to pay Walmart what they were making off of Linux. Go go European Commission!

I don't believe them. I believe it has something to do with pressure put upon them by other 3rd parties.

We couldn't find them in the stores in my area from day one and we were going to pick up 3 of them. Who cares about the linux version they installed. I was going to rework them and install a full linux on them. That's an inexpensive machine.

We looked on the web and they were sold out from the beginning. Many people that I know were interested in them. We just couldn't get our hands on them.

Either Walmart wasn't getting the margin, or they were unable to maintain their deal with Everex, or some third party was influencing Walmart's decision to drop them.

I understand they are still selling online but since they were never in the stores means very little to me.

Wal-mart is not restocking most likely due to Micro$oft pressure. Afterall this is NOT a windows PC.
