OK, you're a tech head, right? I mean, it's fine for Xandros to say that non-technical people want a product they can take out of the box and use, the way they use Windows. Of course they do, but Xandros isn't really such a product, is it?

Tech head? Well, I remember emails from Linus on his first kernels back in 90 or 91. So, the first "Linux" I loaded on a 486 (I think it was a 486) wasn't even from a disribution. Over the years I've probably used every major Linux distro so to me Xandros is as close to a "wondoze" product as any I've ever seen.

That's interesting, but how close is it, really?
