“Earlier this year The Register expressed an interest in Lindows.com’s Lindows Media Computer, and despite the accompanying back-handed compliments, Michael Robertson himself got in touch and arranged to have one shipped round. So for the past couple of months I’ve been able to check out LindowsOS itself, the Lindows.com business model in operation, the hardware, and the whole notion of the ‘living room’ PC, or the ‘one per room’ PC.” Read the article at TheRegister.
The reviewer didn’t review the main feature of LMC – the LMC :-). http://info.lindows.com/lmc/ Namely instant bootup to a somewhat BIOS-like system that can play movies, MP3s, etc and at a single click boots up Lindows… This review is just really a LindowsOS PC review.
Actually he does mention playing DVDs thorugh the BIOS (9th paragraph down, beginning “Which, as we know, can be a pretty good trick…” ) but says he has issues with the approach – which is a fair point.
My typing gets worse – I can’t even type my own name.
