It has begun offering the WebStation, a small office/home office-oriented PC, for a mere $169. Of course, that doesn't buy you a top-spec. system. You don't even get a monitor. The WebStation is based on a VIA C3 733MHz processor and comes with 256MB of PC133 memory (which Lindows mistakenly describes as "DDR"), a 24x CD-ROM drive, keyboard, mouse and a pair of speakers. Each unit sports a couple of USB ports. Clever readers will have noted the lack of a hard drive specification in that list. The WebStation doesn't have one - it boots off the bundled LindowsOS 4.0 CD. Lindows boasts that this makes the system "virtually indestructible" because "system settings are not subject to long-term damage when settings are changed. Simply restarting the WebStation instantly restores it to its original settings"."
