Windows killer? For what market?

[molarmass192]

Look, Xandros is a nice end user distro, but that's about it. The true Windows replacements (killers is just childish) are those with name brand recognition and enterprise level support, namely Novells' SuSE and RedHat. No offense to users of other distros, but the 24/7, follow the sun support and consulting arms demanded by enterprise class clients are currently limited to the two I've mentioned.
