XpLike Ubuntu again

[Robert Cole]

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.
