Many of you are eager to know what Lindows.com has in store in the coming months. I can
tell you the Lindows.com team has been hard at work on the next LindowsOS Sneak Preview –
SPX. Insiders can expect several
improvements, including better browser support, an improved graphical
interface, a sleeker more functional email client, enhanced
compatibility with Microsoft Windows applications, dozens of new
applications in the Click-N-Run
Warehouse, as well as
overall improvements throughout. This latest version will be waiting in
the Insiders’
my.lindows.com locker the moment SPX is ready in early June.
While the Lindows.com staff works away,
also helping out are our Insiders. Thanks
to the global team of Insiders who are providing us with their feedback
and insights on our Sneak Preview versions. Check out this map for a
graphical view of where Lindows.com Insiders live - hint: they come from
every corner of the globe!

Enthusiastic Insiders from all over the
world have sent us images of their customized LindowsOS desktops. Here's a
sampling of some of the customized screenshots our Insiders have sent in
to our Screenshot
Gallery. Their contagious zeal for choice has
sparked a firestorm of creativity (check out the Flash movie
sent in by one Insider, also found in the Screenshot Gallery.)

The prospect of a long weekend gave
me time to properly install SP2, and I'm impressed. Having
experimented with various versions of Linux in the past, I was
pleased first with how painlessly Lindows installed -- I booted
from the CD and had it going in just a few minutes, no
partitioning, no fiddling with xconfig, no guessing and hoping,
not even enough time to play a little arcade game like several
other Linux distros offer during installation these days.
Checked the usual stuff on the Linux side just to be sure, then
tried a few tests of what makes Lindows more than just another
Linux by grabbing a few MSWindows-based programs to give them a
whirl.
I didn't try every function of every program so I'm not to the
point of submitting a report, but what I tried worked without a
hitch, and at the same speed I'd have expected if they were
running under Windows itself. In fact, though I didn't get out the
stopwatch I think some functions were actually more responsive,
particularly mouse-based things like drag-'n'-drop editing.
I've still got a few minor issues, probably the fault of my not
exactly plain-vanilla hardware, but that side of the balance sheet
is virtually empty compared to the positives Lindows has shown me
so far.
I can hardly wait for the next Sneak Preview (though it's really
hard to believe this is still considered "pre-beta" -- I've
purchased commercial releases of other software with more rough
edges) but until that comes I think I could do actual serious work
on this machine with SP2. When LindowsOS 1.0 hits the streets, I
anticipate a lot of cheering.

What can $99.00 get you? In my case a new lease on life! I
would like to explain. I have tried many test products over
the years (some successful... some not) Never have I been
involved in a project that I BELIEVE IN as much as Lindows.
I have had very good results so far, and have watched the
progress!
I am convinced that I am dealing with some very good People,
and we have a good shot at being successful!
I haven't been able to do EVERYTHING I am able to do with
Windows, however, there have been many times that this
Pre-release software actually did a better job.
With the help of other insiders and the support staff I have
accomplised more than I have done with some of the other Full
Products I have tried!
My wife came to me this weekend and told me that I have her
support 100%. She is not technical, but has heard enough to
think that My Philosophy and Lindows is a perfect fit.
I agree, and am anxiously awaiting the next release!
I just want to thank the Staff and The Insiders that have
helped me!
I am glad I was willing to give Lindows a try! Now I'm not
looking back!
Thanks! ..Geo

ability to run popular Windows-based programs. This will be followed by
the
final version due out later in the year. For more information
