just read the article about the new linux os system that will be able to run windows software, called lindows, sounds good, actually too good.

if this is the case then this could be a tempting time to change os systems, and have all the advantages of an OS with no bill gates!

What do you think? will gaming still be the same on Lindows?

i've got high hopes for this, it will probably be faster as ie6 probably won't be integrated into it, with i think slows down windows.

also check lindows.com and read the news section, which shows MS getting beats in the court cases, i'm not against ms or anything but its enjoyable to see a monopolizer lose, and how despirate they are to stop lindows.
