Just saw this review of the latest Lindows OS, and it seems they still
boot you into the GUI as root by default. I thought they were going to
change that...?

Not a very favourable review overall, but then again I don't think
anyone should be using this POS anyway.

"There are simply too few applications."Killer apps" that have been key
to defining Linux's coming of age on the desktop are conspicuously
absent. There doesn't appear to be a CD Ripper, an office suite, or a
way to watch video files by default. There also doesn't seem to be a
screenshot tool, an FTP program, any servers, a compiler, or any
development tools. This seems a little too slim in the default
offerings- while the target Lindows user may not need any of the latter,
certainly the first group is now considered essential."
