Anyone using lindows?

[Fixxors]

I'm considering trying out that lindows OS so I'm familiar with it, but before I fork the steep 99 bucks for it, I was wondering if any of you had tried it and what your oppinion of it is, in particular, is it worth 99 bucks?

I've never tried either of them, but from the reviews I've read you'd be better off trying Lycoris. Do a google search for a link.

don't spend $99 on lindows. If you want a OS that runs windows programs, just buy windows XP home for $99 and run them nativly...it would work better.

If you want to run linux, like MGMorden said, give Lycoris a shot

For the $99 (30day money-back guaranteed... Let's see MS ever pull that rabbit out of their hat), you get access to their Click-N-Run Warehouse of software.
Sure XP may be the most stable, feature packed MS OS yet. But their are still people who would rather run anything other than a MS OS.

99% of that software is free, and easilly obtainable with apt-get, emerge, or make install on free linux distro's or BSD variants...

I don't know if you've looked at MS retail-boxed software packages recently, but I believe that nearly all of them DO offer a 30-day money-back guarantee. However, most retail stores have a "no returns on opened software" policy, so how you actually get your money back, I'm not sure. Probably have to send it directly back to MS to claim your refund. (Meanwhile, that still counts for their retail sales numbers.) Just FYI.
