I visited their site and they want users to pay $99 for a year membership to test & critique Lindows. *Note: Even though Insiders will also get the final version of LindowsOS when it's released later this year, the Insiders program is designed for those looking to get involved with our mission early on and take a look at the LindowsOS Sneak Previews as they are released and sharing their feedback with us. If you are only interested in looking at LindowsOS when it is finished and "useable", you should probably wait for the final release. ~~~~~~~~~~~ Peter -----Original Message----- From: computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx [mailto:computertalkshop-bounce@xxxxxxxxxxxxx] On Behalf Of ATTBI.SUCKS Sent: Friday, June 14, 2002 6:52 PM To: computertalkshop@xxxxxxxxxxxxx Subject: [CTS] Re: Lindows Lindows is only in the beta stage! As of 6/12, there isn't a final version yet. Please feel free to visit http://support.lindows.com to get the answers to your questions you may have about LindowsOS or Lindows.com. Bringing choice to your computer! Lindows.com has released LindowsOS SPX to a select group of Insiders. The Sneak Previews are not fully completed products but showcase many of the unique features such as a "Friendly-Install" alongside an existing Microsoft Windows operating system, a streamlined installation process which requires no computer knowledge and the ability to run popular Windows-based programs. This will be followed by the final version due out later in the year. For more information see www.lindows.com/products LindowsOS and Lindows.com are trademarks of Lindows.com, Inc.
