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.

What you say makes complete sense. There is no way they could keep up with the Linux Kernel Development and apps right now. I did mean GNU/Linux and not just the kernel. I was thinking of just enough non GPL to make things incompatible.
I think I agree with you it would be extremely difficult to reach the kind of Market share, even in the future (5years+)necessary to achieve what I envision. I mean a situation where they could create enough non GPL apps that are close enough to the OS in the broad sense (Windows def of OS), where developers (non OSS) would create apps exclusively for them and not normal GNU/Linux distros.
Sorry if this reads like nonesense, pretty hard to articulate a vague notion.
Maybe thats my problem!
