l33tdawg: From the screenshots, this OS looks pretty damn sweet. It seems to be running KDE, and going by how easy it was for the author to setup Samba shares and detect new hardware with the OS, maybe Lindows will be the successor to Corel Linux! :)

found a copy of the LindowOS sneak preview lying around and decided to try it out. If nothing else, the vaporware tag isn't going to stick anymore on Michael Robertson's latest venture.

My test machine is an HP Omnibook 4150b. Lindows went on as the sole operating system. There's an option to install it from within Windows (but not every version of Windows), to run side-by-side with Windows, but we don't have that OS running at our house. There isn't an option to dual boot with Linux, so goodbye Mandrake 8.1, and hello LindowOS.
