Linspire 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.

So saying that uhm......"good review for somebody that is 12 years old" is just plain stupid and show how ignorant people can be...

This really the wrong standpoint to come from MPX. I am sure anyone who picks up something they wrote while they were young when they are older would see things that they think should be changed. I attend a University, and when I look back at the stuff I wrote as a freshman in high school it is obvious to me how much my writing has grown (and I'm not saying I am good at it now, I'm not... just better).

Sure someone who is 12 may be able to write better than someone who is 20, but in that case either the 12 year-old is "good for a 12 year-old" or the 20 year-old is "bad for a 20 year-old". On the whole an adult will write better than young person, not because of intelligence, but because of maturity and completeness of education.

By the way. Brandon's review was excellent, and I think it is great for kids to write about something they are interested in. If I had taken the time to write like that when I was younger, maybe I would be a better writer now. I encourage OSNews to continue to be willing to post stories by younger fans. I find it an interesting practice that is good for both the youngsters and the community.
