We are NOT the target audience here. We know what we got and it is good. The target audience is a bunch of people PRECONDITIONED to expect the Micro-Tax. We'll see how it plays out, but too much change, even for the better, is scary for most Winsheep. It's a big enough change to look at an alternative OS on your PC. It's yet another to STOP paying! Besides, people are more likely to believe that they're getting something good if they're paying for it. Walmart/Lindows are not giving them the world, just providing what is looking much like an appliance for a fairly inexpensive cost... Many people have this NEED to pay for stuff. I think it could prove out to be beneficial for Walmart and Lindows. Once they're hooked on Lindows, real Linux won't be that big of a step.
