  Lindows Ain't Windows
Time: 03:30 EST/08:30 GMT | News Source: Business 2.0 | Posted By: Alex Harris

Michael Robertson enjoys picking a fight. Why else would he name his Linux-based operating system package "Lindows"? It's lawsuit bait, and indeed, Microsoft (MSFT) attempted in court to block use of the name (and lost). Lindows is a Linux "distribution" (operating system, desktop user interface, and software bundle) by the company of the same name. Lindows isn't Windows, although it can run many Windows applications.

Robertson, who famously founded MP3.com and sold it to Vivendi Universal for almost $400 million, sank $5 million of his own money into the year-old operation; there's no venture capital in the company. But he has landed a big partner: In June, Wal-Mart (WMT) started selling Microtel computers pre-loaded with Lindows. The consumer pitch: It's cheaper. You can get a Microtel PC running Lindows for only $299. Lindows makes money by charging users $99 a year to connect to its "Click-N-Run" online service, from which they can easily download lots of current applications for no additional charge. There are good applications available, like Sun's StarOffice, although Robertson admits that the all-important (to certain users, at least) game selection isn't there yet.

Lindows is a joke. Why pay for a Linux OS, when you can get Mandrake, Redhat, Debian, Slackware, etc.... for FREE??? And if you ned to run Windows, with hard drives as large as they are today, just dual boot. That way 'almost' all of your Windows programs will run. LOL
Yes, while Windows XP has made great strides at letting users run older Windows Apps, there are some that refuse to run in XP.

But of course Windows is still the king of OS's, and not likely to be dethroned anytime soon, at least not be a competitor's OS. And if that day should ever come, this Computer user will shed a tear.

Worse than that, who's going to pay the $99/year for the Click-N-Run with a bunch of useless software except for a few of them which are borderline.
It's like Click-Wait-10-hours-for-download-Run-Be-Unimpressed-Do-Something-Else

baarod - Well I think normally they just want to do news about Windows.

The question you should be asking is why doesn't that article get posted on slashdot?

Or why did they post an article about a proposed Linux March on the San Francisco city hall, but didn't post any followup articles about how nobody showed up?

Kevin, to answer your question, OmniPro 10 is one that comes to mind. While it installs, it won't run.

baarod, I originally posted that Lindows URL. I also emailed it to Byron Hinson and possibly even Robert Stein of ActiveWin.

I agree it should be on this site.
