enterprise use, and my answer is, 'Now’!,'” said Andreas Typaldos,

sample of the new business desktop OS to qualified enterprises seeking a
secure, plug-in replacement for their costly Windows desktops so they

not because I'm anti-Microsoft or anti-any other operating system. I am
going to put Xandros Business Edition on my computers and recommend it
to others because it's better than any OS I've seen to date,” said Alton
Jones, Technology Development Administrator for Comtech. “It downloads
clean, it's fast and it works.”
