Linspire 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.

Wine

Sorry to change the subject, but why does Wine work so poorly in LindowsOS, if it is based on Debian?

I am running Debian 3.0 (woody?) with a stock apt-get install of Wine, and I can run all of the apps in Office 2000 off my second hard drive with Windows 2000 on it without any serious problems.

And notepad doesn't even work in LindowsOS?
What did they do to mess that up?
