"LindowsOS 2.O is the most significant product announcement we've had to date," said Michael Robertson, chief executive officer of Lindows.com, Inc. "LindowsOS 2.0 is the result of a collaboration of forward thinking companies and their resources, along with Lindows.com Insiders , and the Linux community, all of which have the common goal of providing choice on the desktop. What this means for customers is that now there is an even easier-to-use, super affordable choice for computer users."

Walmart.com (NYSE:WMT) (www.lindows.com/walmart) customers who've purchased LindowsOS computers, ranging from $199 to $599, will be able to Click-N-Run (www.lindows.com/warehouse) LindowsOS 2.0 at no charge.

The first thing users will notice is the sharp, new, graphical user
interface. The set up is not only esthetically pleasing, it's also
highly functional. LindowsOS 2.0 offers practicality along with the
good looks. With companies such as HP onboard, LindowsOS now has an easy-to-setup support for more than 800 printers from low-cost inkjets to color laser printers. LindowsOS 2.0 also has a scan feature which will find all the printers on a corporate network. Even those on a Microsoft network can use print servers in a standard fashion.

Users can also take advantage of "tabbed browsing" and other features such as the "pop-up" blocking feature. Desktop controls have seen a host of improvements, including the ability to adjust the monitor resolution.

Other LindowsOS 2.0 enhancements include: Laptop power management and battery controls. Users can configure WIFI (wireless cards) and reap the rewards of improved networking. Users in corporate environments or even at home with multiple computers may use Microsoft Windows file servers. Now it's a point-and-click experience to find, browse and connect to networked drives.

Click-N-Run, the technology used to load software programs onto
LindowsOS machines, has been optimized so it performs better over broadband and dial-up connections. Other enhancements include the ability to Click-N-Run multiple programs. This is especially helpful when setting up a new machine as users can quickly install an office suite, such as Sun's (Nasdaq:SUNW) StarOffice, an html editor, MP3 software, games, and so on, all with just a couple clicks of the mouse.
