Matthew Newton reviews Lindows $299 PC right out of the box for PCWorld. . .
"PC purchases traditionally involve choosing a Windows operating system. But now your OS choices are broader.

"Right now the Microtel Sysmar701 with LindowsOS 1.1 is a workable, inexpensive PC for users who aren't wedded to Windows and whose needs are simple. However, whether this is an awkward but promising entry in an emerging field or just a footnote in PC history remains to be seen."
