Hi Ron.

I'm I understanding this right? They want $99 bucks for Lindows!
For crying out loud we can get Mandrake 8.1 for nothing! and the
upcoming if not already available in bata form Mandrake 8.2
$99 bucks for the privilege of running winodws apps.
I think thats hard to swallow, if I want to run winodws apps
I do it in windows. I already have windows so why in the world
would I buy a Linux like OS just to run windows apps.
Oh this is rich. Isn't there something like this already? maybe I'm wrong
I could be thinking of running Linux through Windows?
