Linux XP: Review
,----[ Quote ]
| Linux XP does an admirable job of mimicing Windows XP?s behavior,
| so a typical XP user may find switching to LXP very easy. At the
| same time, the more fundamental question I?d ask is, if you are
| switching to Linux, why bother retaining windows XP layout, when
| Linux has better options?

Linux XP Desktop: A Windows face on an old Linux base
,----[ Quote ]
| Unlike Linspire and Xandros, which are both based on Debian, Linux XP is
| derived from Fedora. It runs an extensively modified version of GNOME to
| create an environment a Windows user should be comfortable with. Its
| manifesto claims that Linux XP is not a "cheap copycat product" but rather
| a mature and stable "ready-to-migrate desktop system." This I had to see.

Linux That Looks Like Windows: Bad!
,----[ Quote ]
| Conclusion: Linux already has excellent mainstream desktop environments
| which have a unique look and feel which differs from that of Windows.
| That's not a bad thing: Linux doesn't need to look like Windows. If a
| user wants to make their Linux distro look like the OS they left
| behind, that's perfectly fine - all they need to do is install
| xpde or LXP. However, what we cannot do is mimic Windows'
| interface, as that would destroy one of the Linux desktop's
| greatest advantages - its beauty, difference, innovation and
| ease of use.
