I'm a windows user by nature, I've been playing around with Linux for a little while, I'm no Expert in any way but I've used quite a few distro's. The first distro I ever stuck with for any amount of time Was Xandros 1.0, which a friend provided for me. Except for the fact that it ran an old version of KDE it was perfect for me, but the old KDE crippled my work. Enter Xandros 2.0.

What I dont understand is why this he absolutely need to install M$ Office... If he just needs it for his Word needs he can just as well use OpenOffice Writer.
Internet Explorer I agree is OK to have sometimes if you need to access IE-only pages, but what is that thing about viewing PDF files in IE? Mozilla, or even Adobe's own Acrobat is just as good for that? (its included or you can download it from XN)
No need for GAIM when you got Kopete!
Another thing that also crosses my mind...Why do you want to use Konquerer? Xandros own file manager is almost (if not completely) the same.
All in all a nice _personal_ review but those points above is a bit fuzzy for me. If you added some more information about the OS itself and not only Windows/"move over" specific functions itself it would have improved a lot. Tell us what you really like about Xandros!
And to those who said that "Linux is not perfect". Fine! But who is? Windows? Naaah... NOONE or NOTHING is perfect (except me of course )).
