Move over Linux, here come Lindows!

Its a reality! Linux and Windows UNITE (well sort of, anyway) to make a single desktop OS that will run both versions of its client/server based packages! - This follows our earlier report that we posted from CNet Singapore. Neowin has obtained the url and information on how you can be a part of this ground breaker! (Thanks IRazor)

Soon for under $100, users can purchase a copy of LindowsOS to run their PC. The simplified interface makes installation a straightforward, four-step process suitable for the novice or the MIS manager supervising a number of computers. LindowsOS also allows users the convenience of running LindowOS on one or more systems, for personal use, without the hassle of serial code registrations. Users will receive the full version upon purchase, without having to call-in their registration numbers.

Once installed, LindowsOS offers a full-powered graphical desktop experience familiar to any computer user, but with advanced underlying architecture to ensure greater reliability.

PCs running LindowsOS have the unique ability to run Linux® and Windows® software. No additional software is required for owners of LindowsOS to run popular Windows® or Linux® programs.

To install Windows® software, users insert CDs or download the software and run the accompanying installer program with no modifications required. Once installed, a simple click on a desktop icon or selection from a menu launches the program in the customary fashion. All menus, dialog boxes and features operate in an expected manner and at a comparable speed. For the first time, those contemplating an operating system change will be able to keep their investment in their existing software, thereby overcoming the largest impediment to deploying a new operating system. Because LindowsOS is built around a Linux® core, it runs Linux® software natively, giving consumers the best of both worlds.
