I wish that I could be more help in this situation. Seeing that it
[XPLike Ubuntu] is based off of Ubuntu 11.04, I am guessing that it was
using something prior to GNOME Shell, something n the GNOME 2.x cycle.
I have seen some distributions which try to present a Windows-like
desktop which use either cinnamon or KDE. While KDE is working to
improve upon its accessibility, I cannot say the same for Cinnamon. The
last I that I tried the Cinnamon desktop environment, it was only
fractionally functional with either magnification or with Orca.
Although not Linux based, I have over the years heard tidbits about
ReactOS [1], a free and open source operating system which has a goal of
being binary compatible with Windows NT-based applications..
As far as XPLike goes, it could be that some accessibility components
are missing. I found this to be the case when I tried to use Linux Mint
over a year ago.
I wish that I could be of more help to you.
Take care.

either Linux or nothing, you bunches or nothing, this just show that

variety of distro's operating systems and computer platforms too many
in fact to actually stick to and be loyal to one. Do I favor one yes,
and that is Mac OS but hey, what can I say. I also have Windows

this will be my last post on this, because either folks have no clue
of what
I was asking about, or they are so wrapped up in their own flavor of
Ubuntu
that the only advice I got was to try either a newer version, or try
vinux.
I have extensively used Ubuntu, and it has gotten me out of binds
with my
windows systems in the past, like saving data. and I have tried
vinux and I
prefer a clean Ubuntu to it.
but the Os of my choice is windows, XP, with all of its flaws.
Clearly there are Linux users out there like me, such that a distro of
Ubuntu was made to act like windows.
I guess I was barking up the wrong tree on this list with my quest
for the
benefit of someone's experience of this distro of Ubuntu.
Thanks though.
