Interview: Xandros and KDE

Fabrice Mous writes "The Xandros Desktop OS is known for their intuitive graphical environment that works right out of the box. Their polished desktop product is based on KDE. The KDE News website had the privilege to talk to Rick Berenstein, Xandros Chairman and CTO and Ming Poon, Vice President for Software Development about Xandros and their products and the relationship between Xandros and the KDE project. Without further ado ... enjoy the interview!"

I went to Xandros once, then clicked my heels and ended up back Gnome!

The only intuitive interface is the nipple

...after that, it's all learned.

When is a Linux distro going to finally try to emulate the look and feel of Microsoft BOB [toastytech.com], a truly intuative GUI?!?!?! Jeeesh!

If you're going after a market dominated by Windows, you try to make it look like Windows. People aren't terribly good with new and unfamiliar things. Don't believe me? Try standing sideways in an elevator while everyone else is facing forward. People around you will get uncomftorable...the same way they will if there's not a "start menu."

Rick Berenstein: 2004 will definitely be the year of the Linux desktop

Sounds somehow familiar, can't quite put my figner on it.
