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.

I never said we forbid them to use it, I just said we do not assist with installation and that we deny access to C-N-R, As stated we have one man that uses Lindows in our group who is an insider and he even agreed that Lindows is not a good first time Linux experience. We merely suggest alternatives to the people that want it and the ones that dont want the alternatives we point them to the Lindows store to buy the CD's. We are not the gestapo. Yes Lindows does have a Microsoft Windows frame of mind. charging for free software is not right. Abusing the GPL is not right. Running the Linux name through the mud with false statements and controversy is not right. Robertson went down the same road Corel did, no one takes him seriously. Why do you think he is charging 40 bucks for his product? He cant sell it thats why. Once people do find out that there is a real choice out there then they go for it. As for arrogance, not so, we have a different philosophy than Robertson, we see Linux as an alternative he sees Linux as a bank slip. We dont allow Digital Edition download because yes we need the bandwidth for the real Linux distros.

Sorry you dont agree with opinions and attitudes that differ from your own.

" 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". "

Michael jr. hehehehehehehe, sounding just Like Robertson everytime you post.
