I pretty much got over it when the bootable CD version I was trying didn't run any single simple Windows app that I tried, so yeah... kinda wasn't happy

Just wondering if anyone has tried Lindows at all ? I am just about to download Lindows 4.0 for purposes of review etc and was wondering if anyone has tried it and how they liked/disliked it. I have tried a bootable demo CD, it looks ok, but I couldn't really see much about the Windows program compatability... hoping the full verison can live upto its hype. Very interested to hear from other people that might have tried it. |

I got the 4.5 developer edition for free (legitimately! through a www.osnews.com / lindows.com promotion) Got to say I'm not impressed. Didn't like my sound card (AC-97 standard motherboard chip that even win98 picked up). Takes nearly 5 minutes to boot up. Doesn't like playing movies in full screen. I didn't try installing any windows stuff because they have toned down the hype about windows compatibility. The screen output looks fairly bad on tv screens, worse than i expected. Did you have any joy with it? rob |
