As a system administrator, I have used Windows on the desktop since 2.0 and used to run Windows XP at home for my family. I use Linux and Windows servers at work and prefer (Red Hat) Linux for its security, stability and usefulness in a company with a diminishing IT budget. More than a year ago I started experimenting with Linux as a desktop solution and after installing and using more than 7 different distros along with many various versions of those distros, I found a distro that is doing everything its suppose to do, right out of the box. I'm talking about the pleasantly suprising Lindows 4.0.

I totally agree with the author. I have used LindowsOS 3.0 and 4.0 and both (espacially 4.0) impressed me. A little voice in the back of my head went: "So it is possible to make Linux usable for my grandmother!"
But (yeah, there's a 'but'), the fact that you can get an almost similar product for free (Lycoris Dektop/LX) stopped me from using LindowsOS any further. I think Lycoris's future Beryl release is gonna blow LindowsOS 4.0, since the Beryl release will be available for free, and it will (finally) include KDE 3.x. But, full props to the LindowsOS team, they deliverd a very good and high quality product. I hope they keep up the good work!
