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.

Eugenia makes the point the LindowsOS is not about being part of the community, they are about making money. Eugenia also says that LindowsOS target is the Windows user and not Linux users (or something like that).
Anyway the logical conclusion to me is that if they are successful enough they may fork Linux and take what they have got from the community and start hiring more and more of there own developers to the point where less and less is GPL. I am sure that there will always be a lot of things under GPL, but enough may be removed to avoid the possibility of another company recreating LindowsOS as Mandrake etc did with Redhat.
Just some thoughts, use them, lose them, you know.
