Doesn't Do Windows | |

Lindows is an operating system for Microsoft haters and cheapskates. Its flaws make Windows seem like a genuine bargain. Here's a novelty: a PC that displays an icon for a floppy disk drive even though the machine doesn't actually have one. Welcome to the operating system called Lindows . That's not a typo. Lindows with an "L" is the Linux-based brainchild of Michael Robertson, founder and ex-chief executive of MP3.com. Its fanciful name landed Lindows.com in U.S. court to defend itself--thus far, successfully--against Windows creator Microsoft , which demanded injunctive relief for fear that the upstart's moniker might confuse the public. | ||

Old for sure (that's why it's at the bottom of the day), but I had to post it to dissprove #7 here:
http://www.activewin.com/awin/comments.asp?HeadlineIndex=11969&Group=1 Next time, if you want a story up, submit it! |

| He has been saying that for a month now. I just figured you got tired of hearing him. I didn't know that he never submitted it before. Lol! |

| Bob, I submitted this link TWICE to multiple email addresses I found via the "Contact Us" link at left. I also asked for the link to be put up via these comment boxes on multiple occassions. If memory serves, I sent it to both Byron and you. I sent it via hotmail both times, and I'll check to see if its still in the SENT folder. This was a month ago and I submitted it twice, a week apart from each other. |

| That's strange...we really do post just about everything we get. I checked my deleted items and it's not there. Sorry about that! |
