Interview with Michael Bego, Xandros President (LinuxOrbit)

LinuxOrbit interviews Michael Bego, president of Xandros. "Even today, with our substantial successes, many skeptics eyes begin to glaze over when you start to talk about Linux, let alone the desktop. I'm sure there were many obituaries written about Columbus as he set sail. The more people that you have saying the Earth is not flat, the more you will be able convince to travel to a New Land. The more that make the change, the better off they all are. We hope that millions will soon set sail for Xandros."

We are not. If we are, I don't think we will be getting so much praise from our
beta testers (see http://www.xandros.com/quotes.html).

Thanks,
