Why do you hate Lindows XP
fuckoffmicrosoft:
O.K. being a n00b my voice probably dont count but lets take winbloze and linbloze and put them side by side. Too me what theyre doing is copying winbloze to make a few bucks but that not my problem with that. My problem is why duplicate or imitate when you can do your own thing and possibly be greater. Now if I was @ the local geek store and had 3 os systems to choose from and they being winbloze linbloze and linux, I would have to pick linux for the simple fact is I wouldnt buy a clone of a product but ill buy a distrobution of a product or a subsidiary of a product but not a clone. And to me that's what they are trying to do is clone winbloze

"Lindows XP" what the fuck are you talking about. There is no "Lindows XP". Its fucking Lindows (or Lindows OS). Lindows is insecure because it logs you in as root by default. If this is supposed to be user friendly it should make a user acount for you at install.
It will supposedly go against the GPL, because it isnt open source. WINE is gpl, lindows uses wine, therefore lindows must release the source code of any part of its OS that uses WINE.
And it costs money.
those are my main reasons.

I thought wine was BSD-style under that WineX crap, then became lgpl?

Alright, who's the funny guy doing a spoof on Windows XP Luser? Pretty good impression I must admit.
