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.

Says Ecureuil, " it is good practice for a commercial company relying so much on GPL products to give back to the community."
WHY?
The projects are GPL. That means they don't have to give back to the community. Just because it's nice to share doesn't mean it is BAD practice not to! One problem with lots of open source licensing is that most people get this ridiculous belief that they have a right to all future derivations of the code under any circumstance.
Anyway, Lindows.com does share a small percentage of their improvements. I understand they've contributed to WINE and Debian.
MR is a businessman. Lindows.com is out to make money. They have a good product. This is America. Don't be naive: that's not bad practice, that's good practice.
