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.

Detailed Description and Comparisons with Other Programs
We wanted to let LindowsOS users in on the development of the AOL 7.0
client running on LindowsOS. Please note that this product is
continually being developed under LindowsOS and does not provide 100%
functionality. If you are an existing AOL user, Click-N-Run AOL for a
sneak preview of our progress so far! If you'd like to sign up for an

AOL is known for providing the most convenient and easiest-to-use
interactive service available. The Company pioneered technologies
such as Keywords for simple navigation and the Buddy List feature to
enable instant messaging by displaying members' contacts who are
online.
The flagship service offers members a complete package of online
features including the popular My Calendar to organize busy
schedules, You've Got Pictures to view and share family photos
online, Radio@AOL, a built-in radio offering more than 100 stations
of quality music; a built-in multimedia player to enjoy the Web's
growing trove of rich audio and video; more local content on the
Welcome Screen, and much more. The service can be accessed using any
high-speed connection or by dial-up connections from virtually
anywhere in the world.
AOL also has led the way in protecting members' online privacy and
security. The service's built-in Parental Controls offers the best
available tools for parents to protect their children from
inappropriate online content, choose from whom they may or may not
receive e-mail, and even limit the amount of time children spend
online. Our privacy protections set a gold standard in the industry
and give online shoppers the highest degree of protection for their
credit cards and personal information.
