Microsoft is in court claiming that multiple versions of an operating system is technically impossible or economically impractical. Ironically, Lindows.com is doing what Microsoft says it cannot do.
With cheaper computers, homes can buy multiple machines — one for each member of the family or different rooms. Each of these will have a much narrower list of duties than the all-in-one PCs of the past. A computer for a 10-year-old may only need chat and email. A computer for a security guard only needs a couple of business programs.
LindowsOS comes with a minimal configuration but can be easily supplemented with additional software. We envision homework windows, teenager windows, preschool windows, receptionist windows — yes, a world with a million versions of windows. That's what Lindows.com is bringing to the marketplace and exactly what is needed to energize the next wave of computing.
