    If you want a Windows appearance, the ability to run Windows progs, ease of use that you get with Windows...why not just run Windows?
    Chris it might be that Lindows is free where Windows is not, but thats just my opinion.

        Actually, as far as I can tell it is commercial software. I went to the web site and couldn't find a download section, only the online store. I could be wrong though, I started feeling dirty after about 2 minutes on their site....so I quickly typed www.slackware.com into my address bar and stopped hyperventilating.
        perl -e 'print pack(c5, (41*2), sqrt(7056), (unpack(c,H)-2), oct(115), 10)'

            It might be, I just know that three of the computer stores where I live will give it to you for free, not sure why and i'm not going to find out either.

                    Lindows is primarily commercial but does a lot of free giveaways
