LINDOWS.COM LAUNCHES LINDOWS WEBSTATION.Lindows.com, Inc. has launched a new class of computer with the Lindows WebStation. Available immediately, the WebStation, starting at $169, offers users a value-priced, Internet-ready computer perfect for the family's second computer, business work terminals or public-access kiosks. WebStations are full-powered computers that include: Web Browsing, Instant Messaging, Audio/Video Playback, webmail and a robust Microsoft-Compatible Office Suite. The latter makes it possible to open, edit and email Microsoft Excel, Microsoft Word and Microsoft PowerPoint documents without any additional software. "Every child should have a computer in their own room and with the WebStation's resilience and value-pricing, it's a perfect solution for families as well as businesses world-wide," said Michael Robertson, chief executive officer of Lindows.com, Inc. "Consumers are really ready for a low- touch, high-power computing choice that fits reasonably into personal and business budgets," added Robertson. The WebStation includes many of the features found in the Lindows.com Operating System, LindowsOS, including: complete hardware detection, comprehensive Plug & Play support, and multimedia support for MP3, Real Audio, Real Video, QuickTime, MS Media, Java, Flash, and more. The WebStation is virtually indestructible because it runs off of an internally located CD. That means system settings are not subject to long-term damage when settings are changed. Simply restarting the WebStation instantly restores it to its original settings. Passwords and usernames are not required when using the WebStation, which make it perfect for public access locations. Some models, designed with the public sector in mind, make the CD drive inaccessible to patrons, ensuring the CD powered WebStation continues to stay up and running. System administrators will like the low-maintenance of the WebStation. By design they're easy to use -- any staff person or family member can navigate the simple set up. After plugging in the WebStation, users are ready to surf the net, check email and work on documents. The price and resilience of the WebStation make it suitable for a number of business, educational and personal environments. In the home, families can easily use the WebStation as a second or third computer as it's perfect for homework and instant messaging. In the business world, WebStations are ideal for a work terminal, in a lobby, in a call center for employees who need access to the Internet and email, and more. Educational environments such as public libraries, computer labs and classrooms will be able to allow more students access to the Internet to do research and work on documents while staying within the administration's budget.
