Lindows Review

the article says it still has problems running most windows programs, but hopefully this will change in the near future.

Lol you do know Lindows is just a regular Linux distro with WINE tacked on do you?

And honestly the only need I have is games. Quake 3-based games seem to natively run(the windows version on linux) with a patch and WINE takes the HL engine fine. Now WINE has basically three projects WineHQ(the original), Transgaming, and WineX(Codeweavers). Once they get DirectX to work then games will work perfectly.

yah, i know... but the fact that its name is pissing off M$ just makes me want this product to succeed.

Got to love how MS got a court injunction to get the info of everyone on the mailing list.
