Interview with Andreas Typaldos or with Market Droid?Interview with Andreas Typaldos or with Market Droid?Posted Nov 21, 2003 23:47 UTC (Fri) by ogre (guest, #14142)Parent article: Interview with Andreas Typaldos, Xandros CEO This interview sounds more like a bunch of canned responses spewed by their marketing machine than an interview. It reads like a marketing brochure. "We've reached such a quality plateau that once a Windows user tries Xandros 2, I believe they'll never want to go back." -- Dennis

Interview with Andreas Typaldos or with Market Droid? Posted Nov 22, 2003 0:34 UTC (Sat) by jjstwerff (subscriber, #4082) [Link] What do you expect from someone in charge for only 2 months. Reading into the details and getting exited... I do believe there is a strong need in the market for a party that concentrates on the desktop. Just read the recent stories from Bruce Perens and compare it to these guys.. they will love to sponsor better hardware integration with laptops and all kinds of gadgets.The bigs guys look for the big market with big companies. The small guys will work for the normal customers... I like to have a super desktop OS...
Interview with Andreas Typaldos or with Market Droid? Posted Nov 26, 2003 22:17 UTC (Wed) by ogre (guest, #14142) [Link] Bull, reread the interview. All of the answers are deliberately vague and devoid of any real answers. As far as needing a distribution for the desktop, what is Mandrake?All of the other distributions are open about how they contribute back to Linux, Xandros brushes it off with some vague statement "we submit our patches like good boys". Exactally how many kernel developers do they employ and what have they contributed back. What community projects have they sponsored or participated in. They make claims about their great Windows compatability then they should have made some significant contributions to the Samba code base or Wine. Everything I have seen or heard from these folks indicates that they are just parasites and this interview does nothing to change my mind. -- Dennis
