Whatever Became of Freedows 98?


Freedows was supposed to be an open source alternative to Windows 98. It was in development a long time and then vanished. Any idea what happened to it?

I don't remember it. It sounds like Lindows. A paid Linux distrobution that was promising windows compatibility through Wine.

Lindows got sued by Microsoft and renamed Linspire, and never offered much more that the ability to run a few popular Wine compatible apps.
