As most of you know, the Lindows.com staff
and Insiders
have been hard at work this past year getting ready for the
General Release
version of LindowsOS. This is the much-anticipated
version that makes it possible for almost any computer
user to install and run LindowsOS. Once installed,
these users can then install and run
hundreds of software programs, with just one click of their
mouse, from the Click-N-Run
Warehouse. As we approach the final few weeks
before this release, we are pleased to share with you some important milestones
concerning the upcoming availability of the LindowsOS
General Release.
LindowsOS 3.0 Membership
Edition Double-CD Package
LindowsOS
3.0
Membership Edition to be released in mid-November
We're announcing our plans to
release the
LindowsOS 3.0 Membership Edition in the middle of
November, just a few short weeks away! This release is intended for dissemination beyond the early
adopter crowd and is suitable for installation on
modern PCs by almost anyone. The LindowsOS 3.0 Membership
Edition, formerly referenced as the "General Release," will
come as a two-CD collection and also includes a full-color
QuickStart manual
to reference during the installation and setup process.
One significant new feature included with the LindowsOS 3.0
Membership
Edition is Click-N-Run
Express(TM), which comes on the second CD. This new feature
provides lightening quick
installs for many of the most popular Click-N-Run
Warehouse programs - even for
modem users with a slow Internet connection. For example, Click-N-Run Express allows
modem users to install an entire office suite,
such as StarOffice,
in around two minutes!
With the help of our Insiders,
we've been troubleshooting the LindowsOS software on thousands of
computers to ensure support for the widest variety of
computer equipment. While computer software is
always in development, LindowsOS 3.0 will be a solid product for the majority of
computing tasks.

Special
$99 Insider Pricing ending!
If you have been considering
signing up for the Insider's program for just $99,
you'll need to hurry, as the $99 Insider's program will be ending in
a few weeks with the release of LindowsOS 3.0.
Even if you haven't been interested
in testing earlier versions, joining the
Insider's
Program is the most economical way to obtain version 3.0 and a Click-N-Run
membership. As a special bonus, and to thank our
valued Insiders,
they receive a TWO-year membership to the
Click-N-Run Warehouse, rather than the normal one year.
Again, you'll need
to hurry. The $99 Insider's program will be ending
in November!
Without feedback and guidance of our
tenacious Insiders, we wouldn't have arrived at our general
release this quickly. Thanks to those of you who
have offered us great insights and assistance in the
development of LindowsOS.
Sincerely,
Michael Robertson
As a special
thank you to all our
Insiders for helping us shape the direction of
LindowsOS, we are allowing free admission to Desktop
Linux Summit.
