Walmart.com has announced that it will begin selling a line of PCs without an operating system. The move is being made as an attempt to grab marketshare of the more advanced technical users. Walmart.com is using the new line as a test to gauge demand by the tech-savvy public.
Walmart.com is selling Microtel PCs for prices ranging from US$399 to around $870. None of the PCs ship with the most common desktop operating system, Microsoft Windows, or a monitor.

Users will be required to purchase an operating system individually, or obtain a free OS such as Linux.
