Anybody tried Lindows?

Is this a worthwhile operating system? Or something that will end up in the bargain bin?

No. Well, Linux is but Lindows isn't a viable distro.

I'd be suprised if it makes it that far. What you pay for with Lindows isn't the OS but click-n-run, which is mostly free software that you can download and install yourself.

Link. Someone purchased the walmart PC with lindows and talk about the os a little. Doesn't talk much about running windows apps on it.

LindowsOS backs off its claim to run most Microsoft apps

Go read the post I made in this thread. It explains most of my feelings and experience with Lindows. (note: look for my post about 3/4 of the way down the main page.)
