Default The Skinny on Lindows

I was wondering have any of you guys worked with Lindows? If you have, how well does it work in a MS Domain, does it need Samba up and going to recognize MS file and print servers? I am experimenting with end-user desktop options and am thinking about devoting some serious R&D to this option...Thanks

Just an FYI, Lindows is now known as Linspire.

Lindows sucks. Taking something open source and making it closed it total crap. (Or am I mistaken about this?)

nope.. they still charge. :rolleyes: :laughing:
i think the whole idea is both stupid and absolutely ridiculous; because it runs many windows applications is no reason to charge for something that should be free in the first place.

you also will have to keep paying for their easy "one click" update feature! :mad:

The reason it's not Lindows is because Microsoft filed a lawsuit against them. Haha! Some people just don't know what is going to be a good idea and what isn't. Making something like that isn't a risk, it's a for-sure fail. What were they thinking?
