Ubuntu Linux Clone Looks Like Windows XP

,----[ Quote ]
| Now, the next logical question: Do businesses 
| and consumers want an Ubuntu Linux release 
| that essentially looks and feels like Windows 
| XP?
| 
| Hmmmâ In The VAR Guyâs own home his kids 
| already move seamlessly between Windows XP, 
| Mac OS X and Canonicalâs more traditional 
| Ubuntu user interface. The âmythâ that desktop 
| Linux has a difficult learning curve is just 
| thatâ a myth.
| 
| And besides, it doesnât sound like Ylmf OS is 
| pushing beyond China anytime soon. Stillâ you 
| never can tell how software will potentially 
| go viral across the web.
