Linspire 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.

Still an ugly user interface . . .

The user interface in 4.0 is still sub-standard. All the icons look clunky and the window frames look bulky and unpolished. For users who want a beautiful interface and it matters more than other features, Lindows OS is just not there (not that they want to be there).
