The interesting (read "scary" bit):

'Some of the design decisions behind Lindows are already causing controversy
with Linux users, however. For example, Lindows eliminates the familiar
Linux (as well as Windows 2000, Windows XP and Mac OS X) notion of different
users. Instead, the Lindows customer does everything in the administrator
mode, called "root" in Linux parlance, and running applications under other
user accounts can cause problems.'
