Initial thoughts are this:

 - Running Windows apps under wine suck rocks. If they can get it to work
smoothly, 'bless em, but I doubt it. I reeeallly doubt it.

 - Lindows.com looks like a vanity site for Michael Robertson.

 - The site wants you to pay them $99 to be a beta tester. (They call it
being a 'Lindows Insider')

 - The Yahoo article mentioned that Lindows now runs Konqueror and has
office doc plugings, so I'd guess that theyre tweaking out KDE
(http://www.kde.org/), sort of like how Ximian (www.ximian.org) is tweaking
out Gnome (www.gnome.org).

 - Tweaking M$'s nose with the name is not a good idea. They have really
mean lawyers and very deep pockets.

Thanks,
Joe K
