I chose to checkout Lindows 3.0 because it had been in the news a lot and it had interested me. I had expected more from it though. I expected more applications and much better configuration tools as it is aimed at the Desktop audience.

irregardless of age. Very fair without pulling punches.
I think distro's like Lindows, Lycoris, and ELX are great. Its what the Linux-on-the-desktop crowd has wanted all along (even though some of the same now hate them). I also think they're not quite ready for prime-time either. At least not from the point of a clean install.
Its good places like Wal Mart are selling machines pre-installed, but most average joes who would be willing to try Linux already have a Win PC.
Just the few problems Branon had would send a lot of home users screaming back to Windows. And after $30-$130 for a box version they'd bad-mouth Linux and never try it again. I recently tried Lycoris and the install asked hardware questions even I had to look up.
