Re:Let's get this straight. (Score 1)

I agree. I have a couple of friends who use Linux on a regular basis. A few months ago, they were regular Windows users and now they barely do anything with MS. Even on Windows, they still use free (beer/speech) software.

Two things bug me about Xandros though:
- The fact that they don't contribute much to the community and,
- The fact that they added too much closed-source applications that many users don't really need passing the expenses to the consumers.

For those two reasons they don't seem much like a good Linux distributer. At least SUSE gives back to the community.

At the very least they could give up a lot of the bloat many users can replace with free (and possibly better) stuff, and lower the price, if not make it free.
