He's comparing it to a PDA, because a PDA isn't that much cheaper than
this machine.

He might be a moron, but he's always getting a lot of attention from the
general public and advocating linux. If Lindows develops an easy way to
bridge linux and windows together for the general public that isn't ready
to use open office yet, all the more power to them.

To be fair, I haven't tried LindowsOS yet, but I'd like to take a look at
it someday just to see how easy it is to install Windows s/w on it. If I
could install all the windows apps that my mom needs for her business on
lindows, I'd seriously consider moving her from her windows environment.

LindowsOS might not be for me, but it might be good for someone else who
is ready to leave windows.
