   Does Microtel sell their products through any other companies? And if 
so, does Microtel produce ANY machines with Windows? Those two facts will 
make a big difference on what impact the new OEM contracts make. (BTW, I 
went to the local brick-n-mortar Wal-Mart today and all they had were 
eMachines and HP Pavillions with Windows XP. Certainly no linux there.)
