So what's up with their rift with Codeweavers? Were they miffed CW cut
a deal with Xandros and weren't the only "bundled" distro anymore?
I heard there was some sort of stress in their relationship (CW & Lindows).

Also, Xandros should get some credit for putting "yet another pretty face" on
the Debian install. As for Lindows, I'm not convinced why I need to pay
$99 to access their "library" deal. From what I've read in the reviews, 
the base OS comes pretty stripped down. And their "pay to be in our beta
program" with a NDA was pretty weird. An NDA to work on GPL software?

Does anyone have first-hand experience with Lindows and care to comment?
