Let's look at the possibilities:

1.   Maybe WalMart will sell a hell of a lot of computers and there will
finally enough businesss out there to support the PC tech shops out there
who employ Linux techs... this would make it easier to get businesses
interested because there could finally be support for Linux at a commercial
level...

2.      America splits into two classes.  There will be the middle class Naomi
and Christophers, who run Windows on ComHPaq systems - the other side of the
coin will be Billy Wayne and Rayleen who use Linux on WalMart boxes (OK so
they'll probably both have AOL as an ISP)...

.... OR ...

3.      WalMart sells 100,000 computers in the first year but Lindows goes out 
of
business so everyone with a WalMart "borrows" a copy of W98SE and installs
in on their system.  Microsoft sues Wal-Mart for "knowingly distributing a
device used to illegally copy software",  Sony, Warner, BMG, EMI and
Universal sue WalMart for "selling a device used to distribute software used
to defeat copy protection on music CDs" (Magic Markers used by kiddies to
black-out the copy-protection track on the new CD's).  Forced to fight a
battle on two fronts WalMart files Chapter-11.
