Lindows takes wraps off new version

Lindows, the software start-up offering a consumer-friendly version of the Linux operating system, announced a new version of
its software Wednesday. Version 2.0 of Lindows includes enhanced networking features for connecting with Windows-based PCs,
support for more than 800 printer models and a streamlined interface similar to the Windows desktop. The new version also
has enhanced support for laptop PCs, including power management features and tools for configuring wireless networking cards.

My spin: This past month's Forbes article slammed Lindows (which Wal-Mart bundles on computers it sells) but maybe this Lindows update will be better than the first one. (boy...Microsoft is getting hammered today...)
