XPde 0.5 - A Linux Desktop for Windows Users

Posted by michael on Saturday April 3, 2004 @10:01PM from the sincerest-form-of-flattery dept.

Nissan Dookeran writes "From the website: 'The XPde Team today announced the immediate availability of XPde 0.5.0, a complete rewrite of the XPde desktop environment...XPde aims to recreate the Windows XP desktop environment on Linux in order to allow Windows users to "feel at home" in front of a Linux computer' Full announcement of release here with screenshots here. Might be a good transitional tool for Windows users looking not wanting to give up their eye-candy interface initially. The main page also has a good PDF document regarding legal issues when developing software that emulates Windows functions. A StarOffice version of the document also available."

Ummm...shouldn't that subtitle be a Windows desktop for Linux users?

I'm reading at +5, so apologies if this is redundant.
