Not only does it default to running as root (just like MS Windows XP defaults to running with admin privs), Lindows will nickel-and-dime you for every piece of software you want to install. They charge you to user their click-n-run warehouse to get FREE SOFTWARE. I am not against paying for a software (I am a programmer), and I am not against paying for services. I just don't think Lindows offers anything worth money and they are really nickel-and-dime'ing newbies. New users are better to get Fedora and use Livna, Freshrpms, DAG and Fedora apt repositories. Install synaptic and have a ball point-n-clicking your way to more then 3,000+ applications.
