I note via Groklaw that Xandros users aren't too thrilled with Xandros
about their 'deal with the devil'; there's a poll "Xandros =
Microsoft, Which Linux To Use Now?" on
http://forums.xandros.com/viewtopic.php?t=31422

The results so far (only 36 respondents), have PCLinuxOS at 36% and
Ubuntu at 25% (note that Xandros uses a KDE desktop, which is also the
default for PCLinuxOS).

So let me be the first to say welcome to the new Xandros-emigrees! :)
