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 it's going to take decisions like these (default root accounts), it's not worth it.
Exactly!
Linux != Windows
Linux dosn't have to look exactly like windows for it to be easy or for people to use it...people don't switch to the Mac platform and boot up and expect to see windows...
People have been too diluted into thinking windows is THE only way to do things.
I will give Lindows.com this...i am glad to see they have decided to go with the normal KDE look instead of raping it to look like win98 like Xandros and Lycoris do, which is just completely stupid!!!
How do you teach new users security and the differences between windows/mac/linux....
DOCUMENTATION, user forums, easy to read and follow How-To's and tutorials! (and it dosn't hurt to have a friend)
I will admit this is one area ALL linux distro's need work on. But like i said...Linux shouldn't be turned into the mistake that was win95/98....(yes XP is step in the right direction as stated above)
If you aren't willing to Learn a NEW operating system DON'T
it's that easy, that's the joy of a freedom and competition there will always be other choices out there...
don't like windows but you aren't willing to learn the differences between windows and a Mac/Linux/BeOS...then stick with windows and stop complaining!
