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.

SuSE, Mandrake, Red Hat and FreeBSD have a wider availability of Apps which Lindows doesnt offer, or should I say Lindows charges an arm and a leg for?
Ever heard of apt-get? Lindows is Debian you know. I think you'd be hard pressed to find more applications than what's available for Debian. CNR is an OPTION! You don't have to use it. Apt-get is still there and is not disabled in any way. You don't even have to edit the sources.list. But of course you can add your own. You can purchase the $40 version of Lindows that does not come with CNR and you still have a very easy to install Debian that installs in under ten minutes that is very easy to use. Then just apt-get all the software you want! If you don't like Lindows that's fine, don't use it. But for you to forbid members of your user group to use it, that is just arrogant and wrong! Lindows is about choice! I guess you don't like the idea of users being able to decide for themselves. And you claim that Lindows has a "microsoft windows fraim of mind".
