  Is Freedows Linux a better Windows than Lindows?   (Site not responding. Last check: 2007-10-17)
Freedows is developed by Cobra Tecnologia and the Free Software company.
By using Freedows Professional, you also get full support for running Windows applications within Freedows, such as Microsoft Office, Photoshop etc. Which is very nice, by the way.
Freedows isn't free, except for its Lite version (tested by The INQUIRER), which is a limited version based on Windows 9x interface.

The leader and founder of the Freedows project is Reece K. Sellin, a third-year undergraduate at the University College of the Cariboo, in Kamloops, British Columbia.
No one at Stanford is directly involved with Freedows, but one of the authors of the cache-kernel paper, Kenneth J. Duda, has answered technical questions from Freedows members.
"The Freedows team is not playing games, however, how would you know this, not being on the team, and in most cases having only a limited understanding of software engineering, design and management principles?" he wrote in the message.

 [alliance] [Fwd: [freedows-chat] Re: <important info> The Project, Sourc
A lot of people have asked what the overall goal of Freedows is. I think over the last year and a half it has become somewhat more specific.
As it stands, the goal of Freedows is to develop a core Kernel system, based off of Stanford's Cache Kernel, with the goal of providing a solid platform for emulation (of other operating systems and perhaps even other hardware/OS combinations).
Freedows has always been a dream of mine to accomplish, and I think this is a shared dream with many other people around the world.

 Freedows OS - Wikipedia, the free encyclopedia
Freedows Linux is also the name of a Brazilian commercial Linux distribution based on Fedora Core.
Freedows OS was an open source attempt at creating a Windows clone for x86 platforms, intended to be released under the GNU General Public License, started in 1996 by Reece K. Sellin, an undergraduate Computing Science Major at the University College of the Cariboo in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada.
Development of Freedows was indefinitely suspended in 2002, but the development of ReactOS, a separate project with similar goals, is still under way.

This was an Open Source attempt at creating a Windows clone for x86 platforms, intended to be released under the GNU General Public License, started in 1996 by Reece K. Sellin, an undergraduate Computing Science Major at the University College of the Cariboo in Kamloops, British Columbia, Canada.
It made little progress with respect to code production, and faced nearly constant conceptual rehashing until a personal conflict split the project into two factions, Freedows (still controlled by Reece) and Alliance OS (where some of the other developers had gone), with both withering into relative obscurity.

Freedows and me and the story of my life in the past couple of years
Part of the project was to become a new linux distribution called Freedows.
Freedows, as coolo eloquently put it once, sounds like dog food, but is in fact a linux distribution with a specific goal: to be as much like Microsoft Windows as possible.

 Slashdot | Freedows splits
Sellin that his power is uncontrolled, the only option left was a mass resignation and reformation of the project under a different name, with similar design goals but different managment, as to solve the current problems and avoiding such a thing happening in the future.
The Alliance project would like to wish the Freedows project good luck in achieveing its goal (which is not exactly the same as the goal of the Alliance project, as we understand it.) We hope the Freedows project members will take this sportively and do the same.
The Freedows internet server, which is owned by Lloyd Duhon, the former Freedows development lead, will be put to service as the main Alliance Server for the time being, after the domain name freedows.org has been returned to the Freedows project.

 Freedows - TunesWiki
Reece Sellin's Freedows ("SourceForge project") is an OS that would be binary-compatible with multiple existing OSes including Windows.
Based on the stanford "cache kernel" principle, it aims at providing application kernels that in turn provide functionality of Windows, Linux, MacOS or other systems, to unsuspecting applications written for these systems, all at the same time.
Lately the Freedows O/S was “reborn" by a joint venture between public and private companies in Brazil.

 Freedows - Where is LQ's ISO? - LinuxQuestions.org
While I am Googling for a source of Freedows, I just wondered if anyone has tried it.
While I used to speak Portuguese, as one does after spending 11 months in Brazil, that was 30 years ago, so I don't know how successful my search will be.
Incidentally, I learned of Freedows existence, from an article in the January 2005 issue of Linux Format Magazine in the UK - apparently it was designed to look and work just like Windows XP while running on a Linux kernel.

 LKML: David Meyer: Re: FreeDows ?
What I find odd is how much there is written on FreeDows, all the hype, but I can't find even a snip of code!!
Did you have a webpage while you were in initial development???
I would consider it more of a distraction if you're not going to put something useful on it!
