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.

viruses

"Sooner or later viruii(???plural virus) will be written for linux, it will only be
a matter of time! "

The plural of Virus is Viruses.

It is _not_ a second declension Latin noun like Annus. If anything, it
is fourth declension, but it is not a word that was normally used in
Roman times and AFAIK there is no example in classical texts of Virus
being used in the plural.

So it should be treated as an English word, like many others derived
from ancient languages.
