|  | New Green PC with open source by Phillips Technologies
Hot on the heals of Everex and Walmart's success with the gPC, Phillips Technologies in West Virginia are marketing a new Green PC that also features VIA's C7-D processor and open source software. Could this be the start of a trend where smaller system integrators across the US start offering cost effective PCs with low running costs stocked full of open source software? "Fondale believes that PCs like the one offered by Phillips could revolutionize information technology, particularly with regard to the industry’s reliance on Microsoft. Fondale said that Wal-Mart recently offered a computer designed for use with free software, and quickly sold 10,000 of the models. “To have everything that this thing (Green PC) has on it, you are probably talking about $1,200 to $1,500,” Fondale said. “We offer a machine for $299 that is comparable to what is out there, and is a better deal.”" Source: Register Herald. |
