Linspire 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.

The subject says it all really. The CNR is therefore newbies and gives a little more intergration for all the packages (start menu entries, my documents set as default saving folder, etc.).

If you want to keep things nice and simple just pay $50. A reasonable price in my opinion.

If you are a more advanced user you can apt-get.

I think it is fair.
