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.

It has nothing of the advantages of Linux (security, openess), neither the ones of Windows (running windows appz).
So, why call it Lin-dows ?
Oh, I got! Because it has all the drawbacks of Linux (not enough devices drivers, poor integration) and the ones of Windows (not secure)
Finally, Lindows is a pretty good name
Seriously: Lindows is purely marketing, nothing more.
