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.

Re-read jbolden1517's post and stop being so bigoted !
You want "S-E-C-U-R-I-T-Y" ??? Disconnect from the network and you'll have maximum security !
Not enough ? Why do you bother with xNIX then ? Go VMS the most secure OS ever made (non including "OSs" with no network layer ofcourse).
Unless you run any servers and listeners(unlike M$ OS) nobody should be able to touch your computer.
I'd like to see the script kiddie that hacks my Win2k. Yes, I have a software firewall, no I don't return pings and yes, all my incoming ports are closed.
People who use their computers for browsing, e-mailing and word processing with a game once in a while don't give a damn about security and all your bigoted zealot ideas. Get off that (virtual) tree and check your real home security for once before some real life script kiddie (aka burglar) will hack to your home and 0wn your beloved 3133t box.
No, he won't bother with your silly passwords to see your porn, he'll boot from a CD and format the shit out of your system. Thn he'll sell it and use the money to date a girl and get some REAL porn.
What a bunch of losers !
p.s.
a. Whether your like it or not, BeOS was a great single user OS and for multimedia you DON'T need multiusers and 'security'.
b. Lindows are doing the right thing by bringing more normal people to the Linux world to replace some of you inbred bigoted zealots.
