Xandros 1.0

Posted by michael on from the simple.-compatible.-proprietary. dept.

Mr. Smoove writes "Despite the quick-off-the-mark review from Newsforge this morning, the Xandros 1.0 desktop is finally here! No free download so you'll have to shell out US$99 for it but you do get an enhanced (?) version of KDE 2.2 and built-in Cross-Over Plugin and Office! Finally a decent challenger to Lycoris and also what Lindows should have been..." There's also an interview with a Xandros executive.

    Let me tell you: Internet Explorer 5.5 runs beautifully in Xandros.

    This could revolutionise the browser experience. Features available in IE 5.5:

    • No tabs
    • No zoom
    • Partial PNG support

    Wooo!
