geez
listen to me, i am sick of pointing this out.
lindows are more harmful to linux and open source software than MS will ever be. why? because their product sucks and it costs a shitload.
people will try lindows and they will know it sucks. read a review of lindows, the best ones say "needs improvement, it's inconsistent" etc, and i won't go into what the worst ones say.
you know the only people who will try lindows will be those who use windows already (and they have used windows for years) so firstly, it won't get a fair trial, and secondly when those people see how shit lindows is (and how insecure, slow etc) they'll say for years that they tried linux and it sucked. Those people will never try a real linux and it will all be lindows' fault, but why should they care? they got their $129 out of it...
what makes melaugh is those idiots would rather get an illegal bootleg download of lindows than a legitimate free download of red hat or slackware!
now you see why lindows is pissing me off? linux is coming of age and there's a time limit on how long it will be before people stop waiting for linux to come up with the goods (mature choice of dedicated apps and support for existing winhardware and so forth, not to mention idiot proof configuration tools and a uniform set of icons and toolbars (yes that's important for a huge number of the users out there)), and if linux doesn't rise to the challenge and seize people's minds as well as their hearts, then it will be a marginalised system for ever, truly relegated to the server market (which is actually becoming more windows oriented anyway so some sources would have us believe)
