TransGaming Technologies and Lindows, Inc. Partner

to Bring Access to "Triple A" PC Games to Linspire Customers

Toronto, Canada / San Diego, California- April 22, 2004 - TransGaming
Technologies and Lindows, Inc. announced today an agreement to distribute
TransGaming's WineX to Linspire customers through Linspire's software
Warehouse.  WineX is a unique portability product which provides users with
the ability to play "triple A" blockbuster PC games on their Linspire
desktops seamlessly and transparently.

TransGaming and Lindows have been strong supporters of each other's
initiatives for some time. TransGaming is a leading cross-platform software
portability specialist. Lindows is the developer of Linspire, a Linux-based
operating system bringing affordability and ease-of-use to homes, schools
and businesses.  The two companies complement each other's efforts in making
software choice available in the computer market.

"I feel Michael Robertson has done a commendable job in establishing
Linspire in the desktop Linux market. His customers have been seeking the
ability to play games on Linspire and now, with WineX, their experience will
be further enriched.  With the growth of the global Linux market both
organizations felt this was the most opportune time to formally partner
together," remarked Vikas Gupta, Co-CEO and President of TransGaming
Technologies.

"WineX allows users to realize the benefits of desktop Linux without having
to give up favorite gaming programs," said Michael Robertson, chief
executive officer of Lindows, Inc. "TransGaming's innovative product bridges
the gap for computer gamers looking for an alternative to Microsoft Windows,
and is now available with just one click."

TransGaming's WineX will be available to Linspire users directly through CNR
(short for click and run) in the Linspire Warehouse
(www.linspire.com/warehouse).  CNR technology is built into every copy of
Linspire and enables one-click download and installation of software from
the Warehouse onto Linspire computers.  The Warehouse currently includes
more than 1,800 programs, easily searchable by keyword and browsable by
category.  The Warehouse also offers drag-and-drop personalized software
aisle creation for any user to create individualized groups of favorite
programs.  WineX has been especially optimized to deliver the best
performance and game play experience on Linspire computers.
