Actually they have gotten several large resellers.
So someone is using it somewhere.

I tried to use it but I overall hate KDE and it wouldn't let me run Gnome. I do think if they had money behind it, it would be a great way to introduce consumers to alternative OS without many hassles.

Yeah not being able to choose between KDE or Gnome sucks.
But then Lindows is more for swaying hardcore Windows users away from Windows.
If you hae enough experience to run any distro of Linux then Lindows is not for you.

I never personally used Lindows, but have seened it in person at a computer show running on laptops. If you can't switch between KDE, Gnome, or WindowMaker (my favorite) then that shit sucks.

It sucks to you because you are not the target audience.
They are trying to reach the users who don't know anything at all about Linux.
