"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."

Those that want Debian, might as well use Debian.
When Xandros first came out, that wasn't possible for many people. Just installing Debian was way beyond many people's grasp.
When Xandros first came out, I remember a lot of people I worked with being excited because it was based on Debian. Of course, they were disappointed by it when it failed to work correctly as mentioned by the other poster.
No company can expect to release a Linux distribution with out having the Linux community try it out. That is ridiculous.
