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.

I dual-boot Lindows3 and WinXP. Being new to Linux, I wanted a user-friendly distro. Although it's not perfect, Lindows suits me well. Installing/updating software is very easy with Apt; I installed Synaptic to make it even easier. It's nice that they included Netscape7 too, although I installed Phoenix 0.5 to use as my main browser.
I think the most important thing to remember is that Lindows is not for everyone. Linux gurus will not like this distro.
Good review, Brandon.
