Interview: Xandros and KDE

Posted by michael on from the gimme-a-k! dept.

Fabrice Mous writes "The Xandros Desktop OS is known for their intuitive graphical environment that works right out of the box. Their polished desktop product is based on KDE. The KDE News website had the privilege to talk to Rick Berenstein, Xandros Chairman and CTO and Ming Poon, Vice President for Software Development about Xandros and their products and the relationship between Xandros and the KDE project. Without further ado ... enjoy the interview!"

  1. Stop confusing intuitive with familiar by Anonymous Coward · · Score: 5, Insightful
    There is nothing "intuitive" about Windows-based interfaces.

    They're merely familiar!

    ...after that, it's all learned.

    Why the heck are we still focused on emulating windows right down to the exact contextual menus? Why not try to strike out on a new path.

    I use OS X and I love it, but I also love mu Suse and I have always thought that a good GUI (ahem...not like windows) could launch linux into the stratosphere. Why spend time and effort "creating" a GUI that is already in use???

    C'mon, don't waste your talents for another second!
