Why do you hate Lindows XP
rtgwbmsr:
I'm not gonna repeat any major points already mentioned but nobody said that Lindows does everything under root! Bastards...
Anything that is Windows for tries to be Windows must suck. Especially when they emulate the price.
CAUTION Really short conspiracy theory!:
M$ made Lindows Inc or whatever to make Lindows to make Linux look bad. And by a number of PR stunts to make it appear that M$ is anti-Linblows, we unsuspectingly defended Lindows, never knowing that it wouldn't be free and truly open-source.
voidmain:
RRS, are you making a slight swing away from the dark side? I have noticed that your posts seem to be getting better as time goes along. And I see you even have raised your rating a notch. Are you just setting us up for something evil?

read my first post!!! I said it does stuff as root.
and i had that conspiracy, but my version went that it is really a relative of bill gates who is running this. Either to compete against his brother/cousin/etc. or to help his brother/cousin/etc. in making Linux look bad (or if people actually like Lindows, to make more money for him)

Of all the things ever despised in these forums, the thing that makes most of you go into the biggest rage is whenever anyone mentions Lindows. Why is this? Why the extreme Lindows loathing? Lindows is basically just Linux + Wine, and I've actually heard some of you Microsoft haters praise Wine before. Furthermore, of all the versions of Linux, Lindows XP is the best. So why does it bear most of the hatred?

Ok as evil as Lindows is, aren't we forgetting a few things?
1)Even under root, Linux would still be alot more secure then wind0ze! Surely Linux has more security optimizations then just simply being non-root by default account.
2)It's still linux, it's not wind0ze, it will likely be at least somewhat more stable then wind0ze. No matter how win wannabe they are.
3)How can Windows compatibility bring down the stability? All compatiblity(suposed)would be through an improved version of Wine/WineX. This may be hardcoded into the distro, but woulden't do anything(besides sit idle) until you actually ran a wind0ze program.
4)What if Lindows trys to be like wind0ze on the outside, but with all the Linux goodness underneath?
