At one of the presentations at OOoCon Barcelona, Louis discussed the success story of Everex, a PC maker that sells low-cost machines through Wal-Mart. Earlier this summer, they introduced a $298 desktop that included OpenOffice.org.

Shortly after its introduction, Wal-Mart expanded the program! They requested Everex add OOo to every PC it sells through Wal-Mart, and may even extend this requirement to all other vendors selling PCs through Wal-Mart in the future.

Louis showed a video created by Everex (available somewhere online, I haven’t found it yet) endorsing OOo based on this experience.
