Ximian Desktop 2 Reviewed

Posted by ryuzaki0 on from the is-this-the-future dept.

Bruha writes "Lewt over at Warcry News Network has written his review for Ximian Desktop 2 targeted at the home users that are looking for a good desktop solution. He mentions this is a good product that could be bundled with Redhat or Mandrake to provide a one stop solution for the desktop user where they dont have to install any extra software to fully surf the web. Which you do with KDE/Gnome installs of most distro's."

    Perhaps it is just me, but this is one of the worst and least informative reviews of anything I have read in a long time. He starts out mumbling something about fonts, then goes into an unintelligable discussion of "menus". Apparently Red Carpet looks "cool" - very informative, thanks.

    I learned more about this product by spending 20 seconds on the ximian.com website than by reading this entire "review". Are the /. editors even bothering to read these stories before they post them these days?

    Geez, something really stinks here.

    First, a really lame and pathetic review gets posted to /., while countless other, more complete and competent reviews do not.

    Then, the same guy that submitted the story makes a lame comment about the review, and gets modded up instantly.

    I'm beginning to wonder if someone at /. is all buddy buddy with the guy that runs this site, and is helping out the advertising budget this what.

    What an abuse of power.
