Lindows Sneak Preview 2
Written by Benjamin A. Hunter

Lindows.Com released their second preview release of the Lindows OS. Lindows has gained notoriety in recent months not only because of their plans to build a hybrid Linux system that can run Windows applications, but because of the attention Microsoft has been "showering" on Lindows. That being said, it looks like Lindows has made some major improvements in their latest preview release.

The listed improvements are as follows:

  • You'll notice that much of your Windows® information that you depend on (such as your email and web favorites) is ready to go in your LindowsOS email program and browser.
  • Even your wallpaper is copied from Windows® to LindowsOS!
  • Because LindowsOS and Windows® are on the same hard disk, you can browse and use all of your files and folders in My Documents or anywhere on your hard disk.
  • But perhaps best of all in your Launch menu you will see listed "Windows® Programs" that you can run under LindowsOS.

By their own admission, Lindows OS isn't ready to be your complete and total desktop solution -- yet. You can help the development of the project by becoming a Lindows Insider ($99 per year.) which will give you access to the preview releases and more.

This is one play I have a hard time approving of. Essentially, Lindows is asking you to pay to be a beta tester. What's with that?
