XPde Makes X11 Resemble Windows

Posted by CmdrTaco on from the nice-for-the-beginners dept.

Gentu writes "Here is another way of penetrating the Windows market, which might even prove more successful than the current efforts: XPde is a desktop environment that mimics the Windows 2000 look and feel and behavior. Currently on version 0.3, the team has re-created a number of applications from its Windows equivalents, including Explorer." T. cuts in: It looks like they've made a lot of progress since this project was last mentioned.

    Mac OS X GUI or even the Mac OS 7/8/9 GUI would be better to emulate. But then again, if you wanted a great Unix machine, you wouldn't run a Unix-like OS like Linux and get the real thing with Mac OS X.


    In case you didn't know and it shouldn't be news to anyone, the Windows GUI sucks.

    "sweeping the planet" sounds a bit exaggerated confronted with 150 affected, and only 9 dead. Anyway, this is a bit offtopic.

    "Sweeping the planet" is not exaggerated when the disease has been found on 4 continents. And if I was offtopic, then so are you and so am I now.
