Star Xandros 2.0 - An end to Windows? An adventure in Open source
Linked by Chris Nabinger on Wed 14th Jan 2004 20:23 UTC
Xandros 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.

Sound and Macros
by Piers on Thu 15th Jan 2004 01:04 UTC

First thing, Windows, although having all the apps, is bloody terrible platform for media development especially sound. It is very dicy and requires much hand holding to do the job well.

Secondly, office documents with macros are always told to disable macros in our workplace because we get documents from many various sources and we are not prepared to have a macro virus bring down our network. Very poor idea implementation on MS's behalf. If they did the job properly instead of their usual half-assed way then macros and VB scripting could be quite good. As it is there are too many back doors left open so they are diabled or we don't handle the documents for our clients.
