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 a good linux desktop distro, use Lycoris
We reviewed Lycoris a week ago. Check our archives. Lycoris is not "there yet" either.
>Lindows is a Johnny come lately who won't be around for the long haul
Your opinion. IMO, Lindows has the same chances (if not more) than Lycoris and Xandros. In fact, there are parts of the OS that Lycoris is ahead, and there are other parts that Lindows is ahead instead.
To understand and appreciate that, you should not be thinking as a Linux fanboy. You should think as their target market: Joe User.
>and in the end will add nothing to the linux community.
Lindows was never here to add to the Linux community. It is here to make money. It is a company, it has employees and they have a product that might interest some Windows users. End of story.
