| Lindows to sell Microtel PCs at Walmart.com |
Jun. 17, 2002
San Diego, CA -- (press release excerpt) -- Lindows.com, Inc., whose mantra has been 'Bringing Choice to Your Computer', is now delivering on its promises of choice by partnering with Microtel Computer Systems to ship Lindows.com's Operating System, LindowsOS, pre-installed on their personal computers. For less than $300, computer-buyers can take advantage of LindowsOS and Microtel's offering at Walmart.com therefore bringing computer ownership closer to those with limited resources.
LindowsOS, a Linux-based operating system, formerly only available to Lindows.com Insiders, is now publicly available for the first time on Microtel PCs.
LindowsOS will be available on eight different Microtel computers each offering varying speeds and capabilities. The PCs come pre-installed with LindowsOS which include: an e-mail program, word processor, web browser/file manager, address book, calculator, CD player, MP3 player, Microsoft PowerPoint Viewer, Microsoft Word Viewer, Microsoft Excel Viewer and an image viewer. See for all product listings.
All purchasers of Microtel computers also get a free trial membership that will allow them access to the hundreds of applications in the Lindows.com Click-N-Run Warehouse. The beauty of the Click-N-Run Warehouse is that users do not pay for each application they download. Instead, they enjoy unlimited access to all applications for one $99 dollar price. The Click-N-Run Warehouse Membership completely outfits a computer system for one-third the cost of an Office Suite (which typically costs $400) for one flat fee. Computer users at any skill level will find the programs to be diverse and easy to use. Find out more about Click-N-Run Warehouse by visiting www.lindows.com/warehouse.
Computer builders (including OEM?s, System Builders, VARs, White Box Manufacturers, System Integrators, Resellers) interested in shipping LindowsOS should email builders@lindows.com.
