This was a great product, and the closest thing I have seen to a really easy Linux. I picked up an Lindows box for a friend that didn't have much for a PC budget, and played with it for a little while. It was really the only version I would ever consider replacing my Windows box with. BTW, what versions of Linux does everyone consider the easiest? I've tried a few I would try in certain places, but which do you all think is the easiest?
