| Holiday shopping season is about to hit full swing, and personal computers 
| already rank high on many people's wish lists. If you're going to give the

gPC - $199 C7 powered PC at Wal-Mart running gOS

| Now gOS the OS powering the gPC is a unique OS. While I said it is a

| traditional software for their day to day computing tasks.

| I really liked gOS. It's a cute little system with lots of functionality and

| impressive desktop environment, and the iBar is a low-overhead way to blend 
| cool effects with needed functionality. I think users will like it.

| Spreadsheets. It also comes with OpenOffice.org 2.2 and some other freeware 
| Linux favorates.
