> I don't understand why MSFT would want to compete in what's ultimate a low-margin, commodity business I was in a Walmart today, for the first time in years since I don’t live near one… Based on shelf space taken up, I’d estimate that 1/3 or more of the computers that Walmart sells are Chromebooks. So yeah, this is probably trying to find some differentiation that stops the entire low-end market from being taken away from them. Because if that happens then things get really hard for them.
