The Linux community has been buzzing about LindowsOS since its original announcement over a year ago. With Michael Robertson, founder of mp3.com, at the helm, it was heralded as a Linux that could seamlessly run all of your Windows applications. As details became available, the skepticism of the community grew and with the LindowsOS general release only months away, no one is quite sure what to make of Lindows.com and their product, LindowsOS. We tested Lindows 2.0 and we today present the most in-depth review ever written for this much-talked OS, accompanied by a number of shots.

> If you want to be r00ted, why not use Windows?
There is no reason why not. But Lindows is an alternative to Windows, not to Linux. Which means, that it counts on picking up the habits people have from the Windows world, simply because their customers will be Windows users. Even if these habits are not really very good...
I guess this is a decision that Lindows people took a long time ago. It has its good marketing point (towards the windows users), and it has its bad practical point (towards the clueful people).
