| Plus ça change, plus c'est la même chose.
Firefox's name was changed because of another sourceforge project named Firebird.
The reason Lindows changed it's name is because Microsoft began to go to each country where Lindows had business and petition courts to prevent Lindows from using that name in that country, since Microsoft was not winning the U.S. court case to get the Lindows name thrown out. Some of these foreign courts specified damages of thousands of dollars per day that the Lindows name remained in effect, so they were forced to generate a name change.
If Lindows were to win the U.S. case, they plan to petition the U.S. State Department to have these court cases nullified or at least have the damages nullified.
It's tough to win at court when your plaintiff has billions of dollars at hand.
If you were to go to the Linspire site you will see a link to a much better explanation of this than mine.

Just keep XP and forget anything else... you'll be happier as you probably aren't ready...

Other Linux distros install either Grub or Lilo bootloaders.. chances are Lindows will as well

you should (suppose to in most cases) install grub to mbr. i just recently installed fedora on a secondary drive to dual boot with windows.. works wonders.

| I thought you supposed to put GRUB in the first sector of the /boot partition? I use the NT bootloader and modify my boot.ini to point to a 512k binary file on the root of my Windows install. Whenever I boot up I get a choice of what OS I want to boot into. One of them is XP and the other one takes me to GRUB where I can select a kernel to load.
