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.

It had problems with my adsl modem, i look for help told i have to follow some instructions on a website to get the thing working, after many hours trying to get this peice of linux rubbish to work i give up.
It looks good, andthat is all. My windows and mac boxes work easier than this linux rubbish.
Also when asking questions on some of the mainstream linux websites i am ridculed and called 'noob' and told to go away and read manuals about how to use linux. Why should i have to read huge manuals about using linux? I never had to for windows or mac. I was interested in linux but after seeing what the community is like I will stay with the freindly folks at windows and mac land.
The truth is that many linux people do not wish for people who are new to coumputers etc to get into linux, its their little clique and they'll be damned if anyone will help you get in. This is also why they told me i was a fool for using a noob distro like lindows and anyone asking about it was shot down in flames.
Well fair enough stay in your sad little groups as i will not wish to enter into conversation with such a huge bunch of unhappy sad little people who fear that windows might just be getting better than their os.
