[kronas]

lindows CEO mark robinson has stated in a newsletter, that the lindows operating system, will be available for free via p2p networks.

"No, we haven't lost our minds," Lindows CEO and founder Michael Robertson stated in a newsletter. "What we're doing is figuring out how we can take advantage of P2P to advance our own business." Robertson said Lindows.com would spend more than $100,000 in bandwidth charges to deliver software used to create installation CDs for LindowsOS.

Not really, they are in fact a bit slow to do this. Quite a few other Linux vendors have been delivering their distributions via bittorrent for a while now.
