Description: Lindows is a cheap OS that runs Linux and Windows code, with a name that mixes both, and which looks like Windows. Why isn't anyone taking it seriously? [ZDNet PC Magazine]

The Lindows Conundrum | PCMag.com Why isn't anyone taking Lindows--a cheap OS that runs both Linux and Windows code but looks like Windows--seriously? Look at the recent release of Mac OS X 10.1, at this week's Windows XP extravaganza, at the recent upgrade for the Pocket PC OS, and at the out-of-the-blue announcement of the vaporware called Lindows, and you'd begin to think things are getting pretty exciting in the computing business. At least that's what you'd think if you were an anthropologist from Mars. Things are heating up more out of desperation than anything else. But there is hope for at least some excitement, thanks to Lindows.
