    10 F provides a user-friendly and unified look and feel that resembles Windows including: My Computer, My Documents, Windows Network

    One wonders how "Windows Network" got onto this distro...

    Lindows has offered a legal player for sale on

    Is there a standalone version of the player available or do I have to buy the whole distro for $70.00? If there's no standalone player, than this is as useless as having no 'legal' player available in the first place.
