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.

ArkLinux.org seems to be a better choice for people wanting to migrate Windows users to KDE. Its 'Mission Control' mimics Windows' Control Center, and it uses apt for package management too, though the underlying package system is RPM, not DEB.
In any case, from your article it seems that Lindows does not use discover for hardware detection anyway. Ark uses kudzu from Red Hat (one of the main developer, Bero, worked there previously), which is probably more mature at this point; even Knoppix uses it.
