lindows ain't so bad...

personally, i support lindows. I'm a devoted RedHat admin, but let's be serious here - the average joe blow can't use a *nix OS. after 10 years of an MS controlled industry, everyone's perspective on what a computer is and how it works is the MS perspective. the filesystem alone will drive users crazy - I can hear the cries of "where's my C:?" already. If Lindows really CAN run windows apps and have a comparable GUI while using an open source linux base, then good on it. Normal users will be able to make the move to a Linux perspective of their computer at a slow and comfortable pace.
