Another Xandros 2.0 Deluxe Review

JimLynch writes in about his review: "If we had to define Xandros 2.0 with one word, we'd pick 'usable.' This time around, the folks at Xandros have refined their product significantly and come up with something that makes Linux quite comfortable and easy to use, even if you're a total newbie to the OS. Obviously the Gentoo crowd won't be interested in this distro, but Windows users who haven't used Linux before or have had bad experiences with other distros will particularly enjoy this release. The time to begin the desktop migration to Linux might very well have arrived with Xandros 2.0." An earlier review was also favorable.

Usable isn't XP, it's OSX.
I think the linux community should stop trying to copy something that is garbage produced by the evil empire. Copy something powerful and usable, like OSX. Or better yet, get some original ideas.

Actually it's impressive how much effort it takes to strip down a Linux Desktop to the lack of features Windows supplies. Just look how they castrated the calculator...
