Ximian Desktop 2 Reviewed
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."
KDE/Gnome and others require you to install flash,realplayer,sometimes java just to fully surf the web..
ximian worked out of the box.
...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.
Um. No, no you don't.
Malike Bamiyi wanted my assistance.
The only comment on this review that comes to mind is as substantiated, well worked out and thought thru as this review
"Boooo, bad!!"
I'm sorry but cheap with support will always win over free without support.. 40 dollars for redhat with support and 99 dollars for XD2 so the consumer has some tech support to help them out with problems.
Yes free software has support in many cases but when you pay a company for something that means they'll usually provide you with support and secondly you're helping the economy by giving someone a job and they pay for other services and give others jobs..
though freeware/gpl and such does have a place in products that nobody really wants to pay for and fills the gaps that companies who dont care to make their product work on Linux.
Anywho I'm too busy here to worry about this arguement right now. I'll get something coherent someday on that subject.
Really? I'd have never guessed.
