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.
Four-click install with automatic disk partitioning

lets just hope this isn't like with some 'earlier' SuSE Linux where it overwrites the whole harddisk (yeah windows is gone
Linux is like a Wigwam. No Windows no Gates but Apache inside
I'm glad they told me it was famous... I didn't have any idea what it is!

Active Desktop on steroids? What does it also rip your heart out when it brings your box to it's knees?
You can download people now? Dang, this technology thing is getting complex. Why, back in my day, all you could download was programs. And we didn't have no broadband, we used modems. And they were slow. 1200 baud. Betcha don't even know what a "baud" is, do you boy? And this "save to hard disk" business? Modernist luxury! We used floppies, and we were happy about it. They were 140K on a side, and you had to hack them to make 'em two sided. If you had two floppy drives, you were cool. And RAM! Don't get me started...

I came really close to buying this card, just for the idea of running MS hardware in Linux.
No, unfortunately there are still no error codes. Like other Linuxes, when programs crash they disappear with any explanation or notice whatsoever.
And somehow I get the sense you'd prefer a dialog full of gibberish and codewords when you try to print something? UI accessibility and consistency are more important than candy.
Wait 'till you see the chicks i'm downloading right now...
Oh wait.

Your momma's so fat it took me 3 days to download her using internet2.
My beliefs do not require that you agree with them.
You mean like you stopped thinking? You think somehow that the menus should be in the upper left? Makes no intuitive sense to me. Why is it on the mac that no matter where an app is on the screen its menus are at the top of the screen. Talk about stupid, yet mac users still blindly believe that that's easier.
Incidently, not all written languages are read top-left to bottom-right. I prefer my menu bar on the left edge of the screen where it takes up less real estate.
