One is a reimplementation of the Windows operating system, the other is a Linux distribution that looks and is named kind of like Windows. Actually the page you linked states what happened to LindowsOS, they won a settlement, got $20 million and changed names.

this is about click-n-run that was a package manager more like Snap today, that allows distributing self contained executables (without dealing with dependencies)
