Regarding the discount on the Standard edition, I am not sure. The original e-mail that I got is what we posted last nite and today and it didn't specify. In a subesquent e-mail yesterday afternoon from a different Xandros employee I got the following: In regards to your presentation I've got a discount code for you that entitles you and your lug members to %45 off the deluxe version of the Xandros Desktop. Your mates can use this coupon code when ordering .. dcce72d486f2 Thanks, Matt So, if you decide that you only need the Standard edition, my suggestion would be to proceed with purchasing it on the web site and use the discount code. If it gives you the discount, go for it. If not, then, if it were me, I would back up and purchase the Deluxe Edition since the Crossover products are worth about $75.00 by themselves. Additionally, you should be aware that, according to the web site, the Standard edition doesn't resize NTFS partitions and provides only one (1) e-mail support incident, whereas you get 30 days of unlimited support via e-mail with the Deluxe Edition. That being said, I am not aware of any incident where Xandros has denied support to ANYONE that has asked regardless of how long it has been. Either way, its a helluva deal considering what Xandros does and how well it does it especially against the cost of Suse, Lindows, and some of the other commercial distros. Just my thoughts. I hope it helps.
