I don't see it either. Any ideas?
 
Whoops, thanks. I've always wanted to try this with VMware just to see what it's like. Thanks!

there is another catch, You need to create an account and then go to my account-> my products -> download CD
 
I was just about to ask, haha. Thanks a lot for letting me know. I'll try it now, shouldn't take long to download.
 
Oh wow, I just "bought" the software, and I'm #166 in line to download the product I just bought!

Seems like they have a great downloading system.

Oh well, I guess it's still worth trying. Let's see how fast it moves.
 
:banghead: super cool downloading system :hail:
 
I read an article about them which said that they were a pretty amateur act, and it seems like they are. However, I'm just interested to get a feel for the new Lindows thing, and if it's free, legally, why not? I've moved down from about 166 to 143, may take about a half an hour or so.
 
I'm just waiting for the download to start a 550MB file at 50k/sec, I'll be angry, haha.
 
Awesome. 239 in line though...

Oh well, free is better than 60 bucks. I wonder if Lindows supports dual-boot?
 
Don't know. I'm going to use it with VMware. I'm #58 in line now.
 
Now that I think of it, it's probably overloaded because of this free deal, so I doubt it's normally like this.
 
I used lindows in its first version, paid the 90 bucks to get it back then to use for a final in my networking class. Its cool, I'll be interested to hear how its doing now.. back then i couldnt get office to load or any other windows programs for that matter.. but you could network it etc.. its been over a year, so should be a good product by now.

Later

Wonderful.. download crashed, and when I went to restart:

Waiting for your download to start.
You are number 673 in line
This window will refresh periodically to show you your new position in line.

oh yeah, if you signed up already for it, you can download it later, I hope you guys enjoyed it while it lasted.
 
I left it up and running while I was downstairs with my girlfriend, more than a couple hours, at least. I started out in place 650 or so and I'm now in 196. This is impossible. When I first tried to download it, I was in place 166 or so, then it got screwed up because I went away from the PC, not sure what happened. All I want is just to get a download running!
 
This deal died yesterday, I was too late! :banghead:
