Spawn of Debian faceoff: LindowsOS 4.5

I’ve heard a lot of negatives about LindowsOS since its debut. I’ve heard the installation procedure encourages users to run as root, and worse, to do so without a password. I’ve heard the company doesn’t adhere to the GPL by providing access to the source code for LindowsOS. I’ve also heard the company didn’t play nice with others at a desktop Linux trade show last year. From personal experience I know company reps are a lot more eager to talk to the Windows trade press than to the Linux press.” Read the review at NewsForge by Joe Barr.
