Moms and Dads looking to get the kids ready for school can?t go wrong with the $199 LindowsOS PC at Walmart.com, as school is no longer just about reading, writing and arithmetic.

Shoppers can purchase their computer from Walmart.com (

?We?re really excited to offer LindowsOS at such an affordable price point,? said Michael Robertson, chief executive officer of Lindows.com.
