Linux vs Windows - Conquering a Windows Based World

Linux may finally hit the mass market thanks to Wal-Mart, PC maker Everex, and startup called gOS.  Wal-Mart began taking order online Wednesday for the “Green gPC” which is made by EverEx of Taiwan and sports a Linux “gOS” which is derived from Ubuntu.

“It’s heavily oriented toward Google’s Web sites and online applications, like YouTube, Gmail and the company’s word processing program, all of which can be used only when the computer is connected to a broadband line.”

The PC will have 512Meg of memory, 80 Gig hard drive, DVD drive, and CD burner.  I can see a huge potential for this PC for children or first time computer buyers or even seniors.  Could this be “tipping point”  for Linux making it into the home? Can’t wait to see what happens with this.
