A review of Xandros Desktop OS Version 3 Business Edition
Jul. 11, 2005

Xandros touts its Desktop OS Version 3 Business Edition as "an alternative to Windows and . . . does not try to hide that fact that it was designed to be a Linux distribution for Windows users," leading to "a focus on ease of use and Windows compatibility but with the unique advantages of Linux," according to a recently published review at XYZComputing.com.

The review summarizes the key features of the Xandros Linux OS, and briefly outlines the installation process, providing screenshots of several configuration wizards.

"Overall, Xandros Desktop OS Version 3 Business Edition has proven itself to be a fine operating system," writes author Sal Cangeloso Cangeloso. "As a long time Windows user, who is forced to use XP on a daily basis, I really appreciated Xandros' approach to Linux-Windows integration and just how easy they made the transition from one operating system to the other. This distribution is fast and efficient, yet is powerful enough to do the job. Furthermore, it surpasses many other Linux distros in that it allows users to take to take advantage of their Windows software and experience rather than just tossing it aside."

"In the last few years I have used a number of different Linux distributions and this one is certainly the one which is the most like Windows," Cangeloso adds.
