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.

...and it's aim is more commercial that home - for now...
It's not like it comes crammed with games or stuff to impress visually (although I like the esthetics).
I had the opportunity to use it for "work" or rather for job-searching and found it covered 95% of my needs.
1) Résumé creation
2) Email
3) Filling in some web-based forms to apply, some even had the gall to make them in some proprietary way the forced me to us IE, which Xandros fired-up in no time.
4) Chatting with colleagues & friends.
-> all this done without a single crash, and no viruses perturbed the process.
What's more, I have never been a victim of intrusion (thanks to my linux gateway/firewall/masquerade) although I will admit it's possible - has not happened in over 3 years.
So all in all, is Xandros ready to take over the desktop ?
-> a resounding YES !
{except the extreme gamester - and even they should pay M$ in other ways than Windows, for example - get yourself and xbox, ... and even in this dept there are alternatives...
Xandros 1.0 / 2.0 - King of the desktop !
