Yes, I remember this! At some point they even claimed the term "Windows" was too generic to be protected, and they wanted to use it for the project...

A vendor that has to write a news item on their front page that their product is not dead? Maybe not the most attractive look.

Lindows made a splash in 2001-2002 and its purpose was to bridge the gap and offer proper support for Windows applications on Linux via a 'click and run' service.

After Microsoft sued them and they changed their name, the bubble was burst and when Ubuntu appeared its niche as a beginner distro ebbed away.

I was surprised to hear it was still alive via a Michael MJD video a month or two ago.

Huh? Linux Mint looks more like Lindows than Linspire.

I guess you haven't used windows 11 yet, luckily.
