PluggedIn: A $199 PC with no Windows, no Intel inside | |

Here's the pitch for what could be your next PC: No Microsoft, no Intel -- and almost no markup. By dropping software from Microsoft Corp.MSFT.O and avoiding "Intel inside", retailer Wal-Mart Stores Inc.WMT.N is offering a $199 computer it says is a hot seller on its Web site, attracting novices looking for a way onto the Internet as well as high-end users wanting a second box. The promise of a PC replacement -- slimmed down to surf the Web and carry out limited tasks -- has long tantalized the tech world but failed to generate many sales, especially as prices of name brand computers have slid. | ||
