Lindows offers a software sampler | |

Lindows, the startup that is promising to merge the worlds of Windows and Linux to create an alternative to the Microsoft empire, has released a preview version of its controversial software, and it has some Linux users and analysts scratching their heads. The firm was created by Michael Robertson, best known for launching MP3.com, which helped propel the online-music craze of the late 1990s. Robertson bowed to pressure from the big music labels and sold the site to Vivendi Universal. Now he's taking on another industry giant in the form of Microsoft. | ||

While I'm fairly sure that Lindows will be pretty bad, I would love to see a Linux variant that offered the reliablility of Windows 2000 along with the application support of Windows 2000.
Wait... |

#4 - Relax. I was kidding.
On the other hand, if you want to run Windows applications, and you want the Windows interface, why not run the real thing? |
