Lindows.com offered LindowsOS Developer Edition free for one day, GoogleDay (Whatever that is, I don't know, google's birthday perhaps?) so I decided to test it. My favorite distribution this far has been (and still is) Slackware Linux, which has always, well, just worked. I've been using Linux for some years now, I use Solaris at work (I work as software designer). Trying out Lindows after Slackware was totally different world, and here's some of my toughts after trying out Lindows.

Jan,
The market niche is in the convenience. With CNR you can download the programs you want, they install easily, and you don't have the hassles associated with getting things to work.
Not all users want to fiddle with their systems. They want them to just work. For many it is worth $5 a month for that!
It is still linux underneath.
Different users, different needs and preferences. We are all different.
All the best,
Ron
