First off, I have to apologize for not releasing our Sneak Preview as we talked about doing by the end of December. We're very close, but unfortunately an issue came up. Microsoft Corporation filed a lawsuit against us claiming that people would confuse our product LindowsOS with their product Windows XP Professional/Home. We don't believe computer users will confuse our products in any way.
Dealing with a lawsuit can be a distraction — especially for a small company — but we're committed to our goal and we won't allow this issue to derail us. We formed Lindows.com just 5 months ago with the intention of bringing choice to the computing world. I'd ask for a bit extra patience during this time.
We have launched our Insider program — it's a way for those who care passionately about what we're doing to give us all the assistance they can. We still plan on selling the first version of LindowsOS in early 2002. Here's to a great 2002 with lots of choice!
Michael Robertson, CEO Lindows.com
