Looks easy to use, but if you're going to use a window's interface.... why don't you just use windows?  The people I know that use linux use it for servers or are extremely bored and fool around with it once in a while.  What does it have that windows doesnt?  (if the answers are in the webpage, feel free to poke my eyes out  )

once microsoft gets through with it (in court) there may be no lindows

I know, it is ALOT more stable then windows, and gives the linux community a neat interface.  also i know several windows people that would switch if it looked simpler and like windows, then they don't have to re learn anything new.

Lindows looks interesting, and I'll probably give it a look when it comes out.  If it comes out, that is, since MS is presently trying to sue them into oblivion.

 

One of these days, I'm going to put Linux on my extra PC and mess around with it.  It's something I've always wanted to learn, and a lot of aspects of it are very interesting.

 

My problem with Linux is its more fanatical users.  These are the types who turn up on tech forums and pontificate about the wonders of open source.  Their OS can Do No Wrong, while MS is an evil monopoly that will be dethroned.  From what I've discerned, according to these folks, if Windows doesn't work, that's because it's a buggy piece of shit; if Linux doesn't work, the user must be too dumb to figure it out.  How convenient.
