A Visual Comparison Between XP And Mandrake

Posted by timothy on from the look-and-feel- dept.

Mifflesticks points to this interesting "visual comparison" between Mandrake 8.0 and Windows XP. Even though it's specifically a visual / aesthetic comparison, this piece actually sums up the good things about XP -- good device detection, multiple users set up from the install, improved network configuration -- better than anything else I've seen. The conclusion seems to be that anyone who's set up a modern Linux distro (Mandrake in particular) on supported hardware would find nothing too new in XP.

    Timothy, if you're the source of that comment (I can't tell because the site is Slashdotted) - get back in your cave.
