But is it Windows compatible? That is, can you run Windows programs on it, or

Hi folks,
No. Lindows is a " commercial distribution" of Linux - the operating
system that really runs the Internet. In fact, if we could get rid of the
very few Microsoft Servers out there, most of our troubles would go away.
It is the opposite of Windows:
It is safe, stable, designed for serious work.
There are auxiliary programs that allow "inescapable" Windows based
programs to run, but tend to have quirks.
BUT because it is from free to cheap and will run on almost anything (
except an Apple, of course) you can load Linux on that old slow, low
memory box you have in the garage that you couldn't just throw away........
and network it to your Windows machine and have both worlds! You use the
Linux box to do the real stuff and Internet connections.
Cheers,
Himagain
