Linux XP doesn't have this permission problem, because every user on this new and improved distribution has the same rights as root. This leads to increased security, because now the user doesn't have to log in as the root user at all!

That is about the dumbest thing I have ever heard!

:p

finally, a linux os for all those people who say "linux will be ready for mass use when its more like windows" :p

Wow talk about abuse to the name Linux

[DimGR]

"No command line. The command line is often confusing people, and it looks too much like MS-DOS, so Linux XP doesn't have a command line at all! The X Window System starts up automatically when the system boots up, the user won't be able to switch to another virtual terminal, and there are no terminal emulators whatsoever. This has two advantages. First, the user doesn't have to even see the command line which would look like old and obsolete DOS. Second, when the X Window System crashes, the whole Linux system becomes unusable because the user can't go to the command line. This will force the user to press the computer's Reset button, thus giving him the same feel as in Windows."




What kind of bullcrap is this?:P

Wow I want the improved virus support :)

Improved virus and worm support. The unfortunate fact is that there are many viruses for Windows but very few for Linux. Linux XP has a special support for Windows viruses, which means that Windows viruses can damage a Linux XP system just as much as they damage Windows! This makes users who migrate from Windows really feel like home. The new Outlook compatible mail client for Linux XP ensures the easiest and most efficient way of getting infected by new viruses and forwarding them to all of the user's friends. When a Linux XP system gets infected by a virus, a dialog box is displayed with a progress bar and the informative text "Please wait while your system is being damaged." At the same time some relaxing music is played in order to make sure the waiting is as pleasant as possible, since the process may take a while, depending on the virus.

Your not going to get a ISO for it, its going to cost a couple hundred, before you get close to these fantastic features!

Well, actually this is already possible with all i386 distributions: Wine is able to run some virusses very well!
I tried some, very funny to see strange pop-up dialogs coming up about 'genuine microsoft security patches', see it making smtp sessions, etc. :D

Ah, guys I think some of you need to take this less seriously. It's a JOKE:D

And a rather well-done one at that.

Haha, that's for sure. At first before I read all the way through I thought it was real, but then when I got down to the price, $1000 I was like "don't think so", also theres no "Buy Now" link:p

Improved virus support? I want that for my pathetic XP box as well, along with more BSOD support. These things just dont happen enough on my XP box. Looks like microsoft has more work to do to beat this distro in its own game. :D

Wow, my eyes and brain have nevR hurt so much from reading something so stupid... What has the world come to?
