I mean this pc setup is perfect for "cousin billy bob" from the trailor next door to bring his 3|337 copy of WinXP Pro over. I doubt Lindows would convert many to linux, yet if it does do any good, it would probably be by awarding recognition to linux, bringing it into the limelight for what it truly is, a low-cost (or free) powerful quality operating system. For most people, o.s != religion. Most don't care if they use IE or Mozilla, or Linux or Windows so long as they can do basic tasks. While you can do those in both operating systems, you have to practically force it upon people for them to realize.
I'd say that's why M$ has done well. Before switching to linux, it was a vague concept in my mind. I am not really impressed by lindows, but I hope it does well so linux as a whole gets more attention. Truthfully, I don't know if linux is ready for mainstream. I'd like it to be, but I would hate it if everybody struggled(that brings me to another point, mandatory programming lessons! people should have some basic understanding of whats under the hood)
I remember in one of those "boy goes back to King Arthur's days", the boy takes his CD player and shines the laser at his opponent. Now that was cheesy
