Lindows' Heavy Hand Leads to Summit Dropouts

Posted by chrisd on from the michael-robertson-needs-charm-school dept.

shawk writes "With Lindows becoming more popular the company's confidence seems to be growing. According to a news item on Desktoplinux.com Lindows unilaterally adjusted the agenda of a planned vendor-neutral summit in a way that is not tolerable for others supporting the conference. A related article on CNET reports HP having withdrawn from the summit as well."

    If Lindows is so popular, why do at least twice as many people use Red Hat?

    I think I'll make a new OS based on BSD.

    I'll call it Bindows. Then I'll steal all the Lindows users.

    Who's with me?

    Oh wait, it's been done.
