Windows Interoperability in A Linux Distro

Posted by Hemos on from the kicking-the-tires-folks dept.

Magenta writes "There is a review of the Desktop OS Version 3 Business Edition from Xandros. This operating system is meant to allow users to easily move from Windows XP to Linux without the problems that can arise. Xandros not only can use Window's file system but it is able to run a great number of Windows programs using its CrossOver Office tool from CodeWeavers. This is one of the most accessible distros to come along in awhile and it marks a big step forward in the progress on Linux on the desktop."

    Troll? Mods go ahead and shove your heads back in the sand. Looks like the Linux police have been saving their mod-points up.

    I access my VFAT formatted iPod on my Gentoo box. I've never had a problem transfering MP3s and other files too and from it.

    Saying "I'll probably get modded down for this" in a post is the best way to get it modded up.
