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.

    XPde is a desktop environment that mimics the Windows 2000 look and feel and behavior.

    Actually, it mimics the Windows XP look and feel and behavior, not Windows 2000. (Hence the name XPde -- "XP desktop environment.")

    I feel fantastic, and I'm still alive.
