Lindows - marketing problem
I'd be interested in Lindows if only it had a better name! I don't want what sounds like a cheap, hacked amalgamation of two pieces of software. I want something that does certain things very well, not something that does everything averagely well..

It just sounds like some geeky kid's pet project - if Linux is going to become mainstream on the desktop it needs to incorporate and expand upon the best ideas in the marketplace, and not keep up it's elitist approach.. Remember - most computer users don't even know what a command prompt is, and neither should they have to!!
