The lost world of the Xandros desktop (ITPro)

Xandros was an interesting distribution. Years ago, when my wife's Windows 98 based computer was trashed by a Microsoft 'update' I purchased Corel Linux deluxe for it. I was running Debian Potato on one of my machines at that time. Over the years, when Corel left the market, I purchased successive versions of Xandros for that machine. It became apparent, several years ago, that even though some very competent people worked at Xandros, they would abandon the home market. I seem to recall I came to that conclusion when they signed the expeditious Microsoft agreement. I don't think they have any future.
