System.
LindowsOS™ 3.0
touts its self as “a new operating system that delivers, stability and
the cost savings of Linux® with the easy of windows.” For $129, a user
can obtain a “fully-loaded” system complete (www.lindows.com)
with hundreds of top applications such as “Star Office” which is
compatible with the Microsoft Office Suite. These applications are
available from the Click-N-Run Warehouse available on the Web at:
www.lindows.com/warehouse and they can be downloaded and installed
with one click of the mouse. Family licensing allows you to use the
operating system and programs on multiple computers vs. the old one per
machine.
