Yes, that is quite old news. I actually was digging through a pile of mail stuff (junk) a few minutes ago and saw that Dell has their ads in the latest Walmart ad flyer. Not bad I guess that you can pick up a Dell at Walmart now. I wonder if you can get the computer with Ubuntu Linux installed?
Another thing I wonder about is if you will be able to buy parts for the Dell at Walmart. Parts such as Dell Memory? I know quite a few years ago, when I was doing hardware all the time, Compaq machines had a hard time with proprietary memory limitations. Now I think most of that has gone by the wayside (I would hope!).
Also, I saw something earlier on Dell. Not exciting news, but makes you wonder if all of their stuff is going to be Walmart brand soon. Technically Speaking, it should be interesting to keep an eye on this, as Dell was for awhile a business mainstay.
