Sharky writes that Wal-Mart will stop selling Everex Green gPCs in its retail stores. Here, he tells us why.

“Wal-Mart claims it was unable to find customers interested in PCs running free software. The big box retailer said it will no longer sell Linux-based Green gPCs made by Everex of Taiwan in its stores, an experiment that lasted less than six months.

Dale Vile explains about why he chose XP over Vista.

“The switch back to XP was such a breath of fresh air that I have also ‘downgraded’ the desktop machine I am using at the moment. On a reasonable spec PC you don’t see the same increase in actual performance, but the XP interface still feels a lot cleaner and snappier (at least to me).”
