In my local weekly newspaper there is an article about Simplicity
Computers and Wessex Computers www.simplicitycomputers.co.uk. They are
providing an AIO
computer based on Mint with their own user interface. The FAQ page is
worth a
read.
This company launched earlier this year I think. It's a nice simple
interface using a FOSS OS. It's pretty obvious who they're aiming at but
hopefully if they can get silver surfers into the habit of working with
Mint it should be as usable as any Windows solution. The trick for those
who get roped into home support will be to stop Grandad randomly buying a
printer/scanner and make sure that he gets someting supportable.
Having a look at the order page, I think their prices might be a bit too
expensive for most people.
Yep, considering you can get a PC for around 300 quid these days with
Windows which is likely to be higher spec than what they're selling.
Not to mention the folks who might buy a computer might just go on a
free computer course which will no doubt cover Windows.
But hey good luck to them if they can sell them.
