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.

That is nice, but I wish that you would stop telling others that it is _wrong_ for them not to contribute.

Jesus uses Knoppix? *jaw drops to the floor*

Are you trying to make a point...?

You should not have to smear others to make your points. It is not wrong for other people to make money by selling what they produce, regardless of whether what they produce is software, hardware, squash, beanie babies, or OSNews T-shirts.
