Debunking the top ten reasons to "Make the Move" to LindowsOS
lazygamer:
Ok the real problem with Lindows is... WANNABE-ISM! I think many of the good points it mentions here can be found in other distros.
Lindows is taking tap water, and putting it in a bottle, then calling it spring water.
5.) Lifetime family licensing
It's a free software/OSS/Linux thang, not a Lindows thang.
6.) Security and Viruses
Same as above.
7.) Stability
Same as above.
8.) Openess
Same as above.
9.) Money-back gurantee
But other distros are free anyways...
Still sounds better then Microsoft I guess.
10.) It's fun!
Heh heh hey Butthead, it's a Linux thang heh heh. Ya! Ya! It's a Linux thang! LINOOKS! LINOOKS! LINOOKS! Ya... that was cool.
Isn't XP marketed as awesome and fun?

Actually, the Lindows license does allow you to install it on all the computers you own. Just not on computers you don't own....

Using openoffice.org and other free tools which come with my operating system I can edit all that shit and more. Well maybe not real audio, but er, who wants to edit that.

if i cant open it in mplayer, it's not video, despite what everyone else keeps telling me. :cool: :cool:

lindows: i really like that tap water quote.
you know it's a shame i hate pirating software, because i'd really like to try lindows out. everybody's talking about it and i want a more secure footing than i currently have from which to slam its very existence.

You don't need to get Lindows for that. After all, Lindows is mainly Debian, and you can get Deb for free, or you can also get Libranet, an easier to install version of Deb, that, while still somewhat proprietary (like SuSE, Libranet only offers the older versions for download) is a helluva lot less than Lindows, and isn't nearly so crippled. Not only that, but you won't be supporting the Lindows rip-off of the Debian community and all its work.
