Anyone here sign up for LindowsOS? I'm curious........

 

huh? You got a link?

 

not terribly difficult to guess...www.lindows.com

 

Isn't this just another version of Linux?

I'm amazed to see them selling it at walmart.

 

it's supposedly linux made to be as easy to use as M$ windoze.

 

I'd keep an eye on Lycoris (http://www.lycoris.com) instead. Lindows has recieved a fair number of bad reviews, and I personally did not find it too appealing. The current version (build 48) is OK, but their next major release (soon-ish, I think) is supposed to be substantially better in the usability department. Take a look at their screenshots to get an idea.

If you want a nice distribution of Linux right now, I'd suggest Mandrake (more user-friendly than RedHat, IMO), with a couple add-ons that make it look prettier (check out http://ww.kde-look.org)

 

I personally don't care for linux at all. just curious.

 

Bwahahahaha! (sinister laugh from a Mac user)

 

:wondering why people hate windows so much:

 

I think it's mostly because they feel forced to use it. We want the right to choice without it costing us an arm and a leg and then tying us in to a system.

I have to confess that the latest releases of Windows 2000 and XP are pretty user friendly and resolve a lot of my issues with NT and 9X, but why in hell do they change the names and methods every single release. I spent ages on the weekend trying to find the Scandisk (or equivalent) utility on my step-brother's laptop. Gave up in the end.
