Fiction:  No, that's why you run it on codeweavers and codeweavers is based on wine.



Fact:
  Lindows.com doesn't use Codeweavers for anything.  You must have us confused with Xandros or SuSE, they do. 



Fact:  <A HREF="http://lindows.com/mswindows" TITLE="lindows.com">http://lindows.com/mswindows </a lindows.com>

Fiction:  My
complaint is you're getting a lot of mileage out of free software




Fact:
  The beauty of open source software is anyone can get mileage out of it.


Fact:
  We have spent millions of dollars advancing "free"
software.  We spent over half a million on WINE alone, which we
don't even use anymore.  <A HREF="http://lindows.com/opensource" TITLE="lindows.com">http://lindows.com/opensource</a lindows.com>



Fiction: <nobr> <wbr></nobr>...but
on the other hand distros like RedHat can't support Mp3.



Fact:  I haven't a clue what you're talking about.  (I have this feeling either does patriot_games<nobr> <wbr></nobr>;-)


Fact:  Michael Robertson was the founder of MP3.com, NOT
the MP3 format.  This
would be like saying that Amazon.com invented books and then being
upset at them because books are copyrighted.  Ridiculous.

Fiction:  You can argue with me all you want but public opinion will not side with you and your patented software.


Fact:  I actually think you're probably helping sway public opinion our way more than anything I could say.  =)

Fiction: Lindows is in bed with SCO



Fact:
  <A HREF="http://lindows.com/sco" TITLE="lindows.com">http://lindows.com/sco</a lindows.com>



Fiction:  I'm just guessing, Micheal Robertson is a Mormon just like McBride.




Fact:
  Michael Robertson isn't a Mormon, Jewish, Jehovah's Witness,
Buddhist, Harri Krishna, or <insert whatever religion patriot_games
would like to show prejudice for and make fun of here>
