Average Rating: 
Rating:  - Well hey....It's cheaper than Windows.
I'm giving this 4 stars for a couple of reasons.
1. It's not Windows ,and I have had it for a while, and have not contracted any viruses.
2. It's a lot cheaper than any Windows OS's out there.
I have found Xandros OS to be very reliable, although, it does crash some programs. The instant messenger that comes with it sucks and trying to install a game with Crossover takes a mastermind. Despite my complaints, Xandros Desktop OS 3.0 is well worth the money.
Rating:  - Impossible to work with and no support.
First off, this is NOT Windows, you cannot click on
certain websites and use them. Since it does not use
IE, or anything that is commonly used in the mainstream.
This offers no functionality other than some backwoods
programs which crash the majority of the time.
Just buy Windows XP Pro, save yourself the money, trouble
and time!

Rating:  - Driving to a Friendlier Linux
Linux® has been portrayed as a "nerd's only" Operating System. Xandros® Linux® has proven wrong that assumption. From the moment you put the CD-ROM on the drive, there are few and simple instructions to follow. The process is very user friendly. Once installed there is little grief for the programs used regularly on Windows®, since Cross Over Office runs the most popular programs.
Besides the novelty of loading a new OS, I get the tranquility of a virus free, spy ware free, environment ... Read More
Rating:  - Cheap version of a Mac Computer
A linux that tries to look like Windows, save your money and buy a real MAC.
