"There are several 'business', 'corporate', or 'professional' desktop operating systems on the market today, all aimed at seeping into large corporations that already use GNU/Linux on servers. It's a pretty good plan, and most of the operating systems in this arena are pretty good - not perfect, but pretty good. Xandros has had such a product for a while now, and it's always been near the top of the list in terms of features and quality. The market is now mature and the products are more competitive, though, and the product formerly known as Xandros Business Desktop, while still a good operating system, isn't keeping up with the industry's pace."

The problem with Xandros is that they never quite realized that people running a Debian based system would want to hook up to and install from Debian repositories.
In my experience, the quickest way to turns your Xandros machine into a brick is to install and update from standard Debian repositories.
That is too bad.
They do a fairly good job of making it easy to integrate into a Windows network though. As long as you use their repositories, you are fine.
