But the virus writers will target Lindows - imaging a whole community of technical idiots running root on a Linux box!


So Lindows is selling the sickness and the cure.


It's kind of like the telemarketing SCAM the phone companies run. They sell you an unlisted number, then they turn around and sell the telemarketer your number at a premium, then they sell you a $50 box to block telemarketers, and sell the telemarketers a "special" way to get around the block boxes.


Get it?
