If I want linux, I will use linux. If I want Windows, I will use Windows. But, I am sure it will open up linux to more people who would have never tried it. priyadi 02-16-2002, 07:51 AM Lindows OS uses wine. One reason wine license will be changed from BSD to LGPL is companies like Lindows don't contribute back to open source community. So, Lindows will not get my money until they behave better. If you need to run Windows apps on Linux, try getting that support from Codeweavers or Transgaming, they are better citizen of open source community. vselvara 02-16-2002, 08:05 AM Lindows was a scam from the start. They use a name which sounds like Windows to get peoples attention. For people who want to really run windows apps and linux at the same time should consider VMware. Lindows is a company trying to profit from media hype and other's work. akashik 02-16-2002, 01:37 PM Originally posted by priyadi Lindows OS uses wine. The only reason I even still have windows is due to the programs I run that WINE doesn't support. I think this 'distro' is one of the more poorly thought out. What would be nice is these types of companies getting into a currently distro and improving it correctly rather than just slapping a new face on the old queen. Greg Moore |
