I'm a long-time Windows user, but for years I've been searching for an intelligent alternative. Macs are actually a great choice, but have you priced them lately? I don't have two grand to spend for another system. I had been reading all the hoopla surrounding Xandros Desktop for a number of months and decided to take the plunge. I had been burned two times previously trying to install other Linux distributions. Their tech support was non-existent. I'm essentially working in a vacuum. When something has gone wrong in the past, I've found that I was on my own.
Xandros people are aware that Xcdroast is not an ideal solution for newbies burning CDs. It appears that they are designing some new software for this in the future. This is a quote from an employee at Xandros on their support forum:
"We're well aware of this. We shipped xcdroast because it works reliably but it is not our long term solution. I can't announce anything yet but I can say that some of the originally developers of Easy CD Creator (formerly a Corel product) work at Xandros."
