Lindows.com keeps a database of all the Debian GNU/Linux software packages that I have installed using their proprietary installer, Click-N-Run. This database includes my email address, street address, real name and credit card number.
Will Lindows.com 'share' this information with their business partners or will it remain private?
For many years I have used Microsoft Windows 95/98/Me and choosen not to register any software. Therefore, Microsoft has no database on me.
Would Lindows.com consider offering a method of purchasing and using their software anonymously?
