Coming Soon - Windows for Linux

[Hickman]

SAN DIEGO -- October 23, 2001-- Lindows.com, a company committed to bringing choice to computers, is gearing up to deliver LindowsOS Preview Release, a modern and affordable operating system for Pentium based computers. Because of its unique ability to run Linux® software titles as well as many popular Windows® (Nasdaq "MSFT") software titles, computer owners and organizations of all sizes will soon have an option for their new computers. LindowOS is also ideal for computer users seeking to upgrade to a stable, full featured, operating system.

Can you imagine running Windows programs with no MS operating system installed. That would be cool!!!!

Yeah, I heard about this on TheScreenSavers-TechTV. I agree with the same thing they said. People have bee able to do this for a while now, With WINE.

I am wondering if this program will allow people to do things like use their Windows cd burning software or use MS Office. I wouldn't mind switching to Linux, but there are some things that are easier to do in Windows. The thing about Windows is that programs are generally more user friendly than Linux programs, at least that's the way I see it.
