Off topic: By the way, any other Microsoft-haters out there think Lindows should have lost the infringement case? I mean, come on, that name was designed to be deliberately misleading. I'm sadly on Microsoft's side on this one. Course it's mostly bad for the poor sap who doesn't know what he's buying and tries to run actual applications on his Lindows machine.
It's also kinda dumb-sounding. "I know a geniune Panaphonics when I see it. And look, there's Magnetbox and Sorny!"
Just a pointless rant...

No. You're right. Lindows is just another (destined to fail) money-making scheme of Michael Robertson of mp3.com fame. He's well known as a domain squatter: http://www.wired.com/news/politics/0,1283,34893-2,00.html Apparently, he also has issue with the GPL: http://newsforge.com/newsforge/02/04/11/148251.shtml?tid=23
