ProSource PC is part of a family of industry-leading computer solution companies that has served more than 15,000 Value Added Resellers, Solutions Providers, System Integrators, and OEM's over the course of 15 years.
LindowsOS is a robust, complete, and easy to use Linux-based operating system that has become one of the foremost competitors to Microsoft Windows. Offering a 10-minute install, multimedia tutorials, and the revolutionary Click-N-Run technology that downloads and installs applications with one click of the mouse, LindowsOS has proved itself to be the affordable computing solution.
"This partnership signals the changing landscape of the computer market," said Larry Kettler, VP of Sales at Lindows.com. "LindowsOS is helping to bring choice into a market that has been monopolistic even at the reseller level. Consumers can expect to see overall price points drop over the next few years without any compromise in quality."
"ProSource PC is always listening to the demands of the market," said Roger Fuhrman, Linux Group Leader at ProSource PC. "The traditional practice of marking up for licensing fees isn't beneficial to resellers or consumers, who want value. Partnering with Lindows.com is a step toward paving the way for others who also recognize that the way this business operates is changing."
ProSource PC's target click-to-ship time is 48 hours, and delivery is often within 72 hours. The company, serving resellers exclusively, offers comprehensive warranties and uncompromised support.
A full list of all models is available at www.lindows.com/prosource .
Companies who are interested in becoming authorized resellers of additional LindowsOS products should visit www.lindows.com/reseller , or www.lindows.com/builder to pre-install LindowsOS on computer systems.
