Xandros Releases Open Circulation Edition

jasonp writes "Xandros has just announced the release of an Open Circulation Edition of its famous Desktop OS. The Open Circulation Edition includes the Xandros File Manager, Opera for web browsing and email, and access to Xandros Networks. To accompany this exciting release, DesktopOS.com has published an exclusive interview (mirror) with a number of key Xandros executives." The license is a little off-putting, at least if you want to use the OS at work, but Xandros hopes people will find the OS attractive enough to pay for.

...I don't see what all the whoop is about. Just someone trying to mutate linux into a windows clone and cash in on it. At least RedHat has (had?) a decent corporate strategy and a respect for the linux community. Xandros has done an impressive amount of work on their OS, but in the end, it's nothing to write home about.
