Well I would like to have some of the features claimed by Xandros -
mainly the ability to run Win4Lin out of the box, but unfortunately it
doesn't come in the same box. You have to purchase each product
separately even though they are claimed to be compatible. I know that
win4lin didn't run
Maybe someone in the Club will buy Xandros, and we can see it in action.
However, it would have to run ICE for me to be happy, but what is so
