What an awesome day. You should see the video and listen to the audio of the streets of Iraq. Its pandemonium over there!
What's even more amazing is how he went out like the coward he was. After hiding in a whole, he litereally burried himself in a desperate effort to prevent himself from capture. Not such a terrible horror now, eh? Then again, I don't think even the stupidist of dictators would try anything staring down 600 coalition barrels...
So, I am assuming that nobody other than me has tried Lindows? Or are you guys still paranoid over any linux company that actually knows how to run a business?
I haven't had a SINGLE problem yet with Lindows and USB devices... I plug in my digital camera, and in about five seconds (it is slow 233 box) the USB mass storage icon pops up on my desktop, mounted all nice and pretty for me. Same thing with my friend's USB pen drive- I had no problem at all using it. The only thing that could be considered unsuitable for the average user would maybe be the unmount warning if you unlplug it hot, but considering how well it works on that distro, I will forgive it.
Really people... in many ways, you get what you pay for. Though desktop linux is not ready for the average computer brain-dead people out there, it is getting closer thanks to companies with huzbah (forgive my ignorant spelling) like Lindows. If you want to see Desktop linux succeed, buy yourself a CNR subscription and lend your knowledge to the boards Lindows boards.
...and no, Lindows.com did not pay me to say that.
