Lindows has to be the most pointless OS out there today. Their whole goal is to have a desktop linux system that is able to run windows apps seemlessly. Guess, what! There is 3 OS's out there that do that called Windows XP, Windows 2000, and Windows ME. This has to be the biggest waste of time on any developers hands. All they are doing is taking LINUX and building Wine into it. Most people that just want a Desktop computer that they can surf the web, read e-mail, look at porn, and e-mail pictures of their sons and daughters around that cant' tell the difference between 2000 and 98 (I support an office with about 700 of these users, 600 of them use OS/2 Warp and about 500 of them call it windows). What? You don't want a Windows OS running on your computer, great, that's what there are Apple computers that come with Microsoft Office and IE already installed. The only group of people I can see using Lindows are people that think they are computer experts and have some unecessary opinion about Microsoft, or geeks. The "computer experts" most likely will fuck up their install from toying with it too much and just reinstall 2000 and the geeks, well most geeks out there are already attached to either RedHat, Mandrake or SuSE that come with the Wine RPM in their collections pack. Now, this guy behind Lindows Michael Robertson, a self made millionaire from his MP3.com venture decides to waste money on an OS that's free, building in a software package that's also free, and then charges people so they can see Excel run slower than it would in Windows. Why didn't he just buy out the BeOS (since 3com using only using the coding from BeIA and pretty much tossing the BeOS into the trash bin)?
