Wal-Mart (WMT : NYSE : US$53.44) Net Change: 0.59, % Change: 1.12%, Volume: 12,586,600 Wal-Mart has said sales are rising for PCs using Lindows, a new operating system trying to encroach on Microsoft’s (MSFT) Windows. Wal-Mart’s Web site features a $299 PC loaded with Linux-based Lindows, compared to a similarly equipped PC from Dell Computer (DELL) costing $559. Wal-Mart’s pricing is setting a new standard among the cheapest PCs, which have been selling for about $500 to $600. According to Microsoft, the Lindows name confuses consumers and infringes the Windows trademark. Earlier this year, a federal judge ruled that Lindows could keep its name for now.
