I am torn on what to believe about this. I credit Wal-Mart for offering the public an alternative for their computing needs, but Wal-Mart is being cheered as challenging the monopoly of Microsoft. Now the stock value of Microsoft is roughly $250 Billion, and so is the value of Wal-Mart's stock. These companies are both critisized for crushing the "little guy." It is almost hypocritical isn't it? Let me know what you think, and post a comment. The ball is now in your court Mr. Gates.
