 | View Full Version : Lindows? cyansmoker 10-31-2001, 05:53 AM I fail to see the point: who's gonna buy this? End-user? Why would they not just buy a regular Windows license? That's far less scary than anything with 'Lin' in its name. Techies? Er...well, maybe some, a very little niche. And you cannot argue that at least they can run the latest Windows program, say Word, and write a technical report or a specification or whatnot...the problem with 'compatible OS'', such as OS2/Warp a while ago, is they'll always be at least 6 months behind the latest Windows release.

If you can (successfuly) run both Windows and Linux applications on it, i think quite a few people will buy it. mahinder 10-31-2001, 03:02 PM i don't think it can run microsoft .net softwares on lindows because it is integrated with microsoft os. also people love windows because of its ease of use. lets see what happens next . . .

And if you want to download WinLinux... http://www.winlinux.net/2001/download2.html They sort of hide the download. Crazy. iwannabe 10-31-2001, 07:51 PM Originally posted by Fubonis http://www.winlinux.net More and more Windows/Linux OS'. Insane.
