Have heard some good things about it BUT @$99 I'll think I'll wait for a few more reviews.

That review is actually a really informative review.

If it lives up to what it says, thats a very good price tag!

(Comes with Crossover Office and plugin, thats $40 right there!)

Using that Office and IE (Eventhough I have no clue why you would want it there) ran flawlessly according to this reviewer.

While this distro is aimed at the business desktop user/new linux user, I think it gets it's job done quite well. Like the review said, this is what Lindows should have been.

Whew!

...now let me get this straight, I am going to pay $99 for a Linux distribution with a EULA that is almost as restrictive as Microsoft just because it includes crossover plugins that allow it to run SOME Windows programs almost as well as Windows, when I could get actual Windows for about the same price if I purchase a hard drive or motherbaord.....


Windows software for Windows, Linux software for Linux ...sounds better to me.

-&BTW -I don't mind paying $99 for a good box of Linux with a less restrictive EULA.
