Hmm... Judging from your name Colin, I suppose you live in Ireland. Unfortunately we Europeans don't have Wal-Mart, but we do have Dell. They are a wagging tail of Microsoft, officially. But try to phone them : I got a bargain price on an Inspiron laptop without any OS on it - only a "rudimentary" DOS, saving me 60 ¤. They seem quite reasonable, speaking "man to man".
