Microsoft, Lindows scrap over claims site

I love it whenever Lindows and M$ face off.  That's the only thing good about Lindows is that the rich prick CEO always likes to slap Billy Boy in the face.  

It's like two little kids trying to prove who's got the biggest bank account.  

M$ is just pissy b/c Lindows is spreading the word that the citizens of CA can actually spend their vouchers on NON-M$ products.

Why is it that everyone hates Lindows? OK, I've asked a similar question before, and you informed me of not-so-good things about the OS, like the root account as default, but it looks more like you guys hate the company for what it is. To me, Michael Robertson comes across as an OK person, and Lindows as a start-up who sells an easy to use Linux.

emh:
I kind of feel the same way.  I don't really have anything against Lindows (other than giving the user the option to be root all the time).  Personally, now that I've used Mandrake for a little over a year, I don't think I could really use Lindows, because I'm used to Mandrake.  However, I tend to think that with Lindows, at least it's that many people that aren't using Windows.  And Lindows could be a stepping stone to another distro.

Doctor V:
I'll third the opinion.  I don't think there's a problem with the company Lindows itself.  I just think some of their claims about comatibility are exaggerated, and I don't think its a good OS for people who want Linux cause it takes away alot of what Linux is meant to be.

Because it's proprietary.
