Xanrdos has kinda rubbed me the wrong way. It seems like they were more than happy to leech off an existing code base, but when it came to their proprietary file manager, they weren't willing to share that code. On top of that, they charged for it when everyone else was giving away their distro. Finally, they released a crippled version for free. I downloaded it, but got shy when it looked like it was going to clobber my whole hard drive. So, I never installed it.
Even if I were willing to pay for a distro, which I am and have done, I would not pay for it site unseen. Also, at the pace Linux changes, I didn't want to pay for something that I might not stick with.
Too many reasons for me to pass. And, I think this is true for many others. Has their window of opportunity has closed? For me it has.
