This is not the answer for me!
I purchased this product and I'm disappointed.In the product description it states that you have a Security Suite with Xandros. Mine doesn't work and for it to work you have to purchase the updates from the Xandros Store--it's more expensive than my equivalent suite I'm using with Windows XP.If you're looking for a cheaper alternative to Microsoft, in my opinion this is not it. Xandros has a store to sell the add-ons and they're not cheap. Keep your plastic handy. There are apps that run under Windows...

NOT worth the money!!!
While it's true that Xandros -can- make migration of existing Win-doze apps easier, it's also true that installation is iffy, tech support was worthless when it came to real problems (I'm still unable to install it on my Dell 8500 laptop, though tech support "is working with me" on it), and the main reason many people migrate--the Code Weavers Crossover Office--doesn't play with Microsoft Money. I was able to install it on my wife's Dell laptop, but couldn't get any of the three brands of PCMCIA...

Making linux [mostly] work for you
It's among the most pricey of linux distros.Is it worth it?You could get Ubuntu for free.Oh, but then you have to run out and buy an external modem to run in Ubuntu.Like most distros these days, Xandros can resize your NTFS Windows partition. Like a few, it can write to NTFS partitions.There is no need to create a FAT32 Windows partition for file sharing.I already have Partition Magic, but for a simple Windows and Xandros system you can probably do without it.Of course linux writing to NTFS could...

nearly perfect
The new xandros is easy as cake ... i am new to Linux and found it easy as can be.One nice feature is that you can keep your windows os on the computer, just in case you need to use that side of your computer for those few things xandros cannot handle.Which is why it is only nealry perfect - Linux does not have flash 8 yet, so a handful of websites won't work (rarely is this the case, but it happens); also, it's versions of realplayer and windowsmedia player are very, very old and very, very lame...
