Stardate 20011023.1431 (On Screen): What a
great business idea! Michael Robertson, fresh from his triumph at MP3.COM, has created a company which will package Linux and WINE and, they claim, some proprietary improvements and sell it for $99. The advantage? You don't have to pay Microsoft in order to run Microsoft products. (Of course, if your computer comes with Windows preinstalled, then this argument doesn't seem to be too relevant.) And you can take your copy of "Lindows" and install it on as many computers as you want! Isn't that cool? Isn't this neat? Isn't this business model something we've seen before?
