kopyang-kopya pala nyan mga linux-based OS ang GUI ng environment ng XP.

kung nde ka man mahuli sa pag-pirate ng OS, nde naman kaya hulihin ka sa pag copy

ng design. parang fake levis, fake prada, etc ...

d'ba dinemanda ng MS yun Lindows dati kasi nangongopya lang, they changed name to Linspire ata ... tama ba?

muka bang xp?

i've been a linux user since february this year. the distro i'm using is Kanotix. however i'm dual booting it with windoze xp. i still use windoze for gaming and doing on-line banking. it sucks that my bank uses microsoft's proprietary activex on its website (already filed a complaint that they should support other browsers such as firefox and opera. heheh). other than these, i use linux 99% of the time. no regrets so far as i feel more secure in linux especially when surfing the net.

Microsoft buys Lindows (name):
Microsoft agrees to pay Lindows $20 million, while the maker of a Linux-based competitor to Windows changes its names to Linspire globally.

....nabago ang name pero yung design same parin.

why search 4 linux app that can read and save files in MS Project mpp format when you can run M$ Project(.exe) inside linux. you can even run WinXP inside Linux
