Contact: Codeflex Inc. Tan Phan Founder & CTO 919-266-7086 tan.phan@codeflex.com Codeflex Inc. Today Releases Flowe Desktop 1.0 Knightdale, N.C. - March 12, 2002 - Codeflex Inc. announced today its first release of the flagship product, Flowe Desktop, version 1.0. The Flowe Desktop is a graphical user interface (GUI) environment for the Linux® operating system. As a graphical desktop user environment, Flowe Desktop's primary function is to empower the user with fast and easy access to personal and system resources. Personal documents such as text, photos, music,... and system resources such as the printer and CD/DVD drive are made readily and intuitively available to the user. Within the Flowe Desktop, operations such as managing storage, starting and controlling running applications, and monitoring Internet connections are made trivial. The current freeware desktop environments, like GNOME and KDE, only serve the seasoned Linux/Unix professionals and lack the features and characteristics that make Linux attractive to the novice users and to the growing base of Windows®-Linux transition users in the business and home computing markets. From conception, Codeflex's Flowe Desktop is designed to make Linux truly simple for the everyday business and home users. When combined with industry-proven open-source productivity suite (like Star Office from Sun Microsystem®) and Internet applications (like Communicator/Navigator from AOL® Netscape®), Linux running Flowe Desktop becomes a full-featured, high-performance, reliable, and very inexpensive alternative to Windows in today's businesses and homes. The Flowe Desktop is available in two editions: Personal and Professional. The Personal Edition is immediately available and is free for download from Codeflex's web site. Users can register for a free Personal Edition license key. The Professional Edition will be available later in June 2002. A product license fee will be announced at that time. "The Linux community has worked very hard to bring Linux into the offices, into the classrooms, and into the homes," said Tan Phan, founder and CTO of Codeflex Inc. "Our Flowe Desktop will accelerate Linux's adoption and quicken the reach for those goals. Codeflex is proud to be a part of this global effort." About Codeflex Inc. Codeflex Inc. is a new Linux software company, founded with the goal to develop software that boost the power of Linux and make Linux easy for today's computer users in the offices and in the homes.
