Why were only Xandros and Lindows reviewed? While I don't have a problem with Lindows, unlike most linux users. I think open source linux has better distros available then those two.
My problem with the article is the possibility that a linux newbie might buy Lindows without trying Fedora, SuSE or SlackWare. What's the point of buying a Windows clone just so you can say you switched to Linux?
Although if Lindows were to change its name to something more respectable I might consider trying it out.;)
"If this was a publicity stunt then it's probably not a very good one, considering that now most slashdotters are going to be vehemently against EV1, so while they'll get the traffic it won't be translating into sales for the most part (it may for some, not all slashdotters hate SCO, but I imagine it's a fairly small percentage of the total)."
There... is... evil... among us!
We must hunt down the dogs and purge the SCO supporters!...
"Due to a recent slashdot article related to SCO, the forums are experiencing an extremely high number of connections, we are actively working on upgrading the servers and should be able to restore some order shortly."
Behave yourselves!
The last thing we need is a CNN Headline: Linux Users DDoS SCO's first bitch.:)
I'm a diehard supporter of manned spaceflight, however even I have to acknowledge the fact the space shuttle is like your old Pontiac 1991 that broke down every other week. It's old, it's outdated, and it serves no purpose. The only real advantage of the shuttle is it's payload capabilities, which haven't be used very well in the last couple of years. We'd be better off using capsules to ferry astronauts back and forth from the ISS, which is another big failure. What's the point of doing the same thing over and over? Most of the experiments being conducted in low earth orbit are jokes. Baby steps are great for dangerous activities, but a leap is what's needed to keep us in the game. Real scientific revolution.
While NASA's technology continues to improve beyond even my expectations for a under funded, it's dream, it's vision continues to splinter and die. This is just another example of that, being able to successful inspect and repair for damage in space is important for bigger and better things that might come in the future, it's being used to keep an aging useless shuttle fleet going, sucking up money and basically behaving like a cancerous growth.
GG NASA
Best thing NASA could do right now IMHO, scrap the shuttles, redesign the ISS and boost it to the Legrange (Spelling?) point. Use it as a construction yard for the Mission to Mars. One problem is solved already, food for the space station. Once the Chinese build a moon base they'll have a steady diet of Chinese takeout.
They even say it to our faces "Your stupid, you believe everything we say, we can tell you this, and you'll still buy our OS for a hugely overpriced cost!". Well I guess at least the UK division has a sense of humor.
Microsoft will never expand very well into Asia, they will be stopped by these people first.

Microsoft's main consumer base is because they have no other option they are familiar with. In asia it's the opposite. Microsoft is Linux (The new Guy) and the Asian OSs are Microsoft.
Oh my god... did I just say Microsoft was Linux?! Forgive me Linus! Forgive me! *Cuts his wrists*
Seems to me like this site is gathering evidence for U.S. Crimes against the people that is sure to becoming in a couple of years.
Oh well, try not to completely Slashdot it, I want a look into the past, maybe I'll learn when we went wrong.

Now how stupid do they think we are?
Uhhhhh... most of the North East Cost was effected, 7+ of the most busy and heavily populated states were affected.
Sorry your Kentucky farm wasn't involved, guess you'll just have to pass the time away by making more inbred babies with your wife/sister.
Thanks actually, I try to improve my grammer as best I can. I'll be sure to try and prevent that mistake again.
