Interesting. Linux on the desktop has somehow never managed to gain traction on the user’s desktop (or laptop/netbook). Perhaps Affordy’s Titan LEV (Linux Extended Version) can finally make that breakthrough? It will need to take ground quickly, though, to pre-empt Google’s planned Chrome O/S.

It’s a souped-up version of Ubuntu Linux, built specifically to make Linux palatable for Windows users. The difference between “real” XP and Affordy XP is that the Affordy people will be maintaining their OS, issuing upgrades and integrating programs into the OS, making it a “living thing,” unlike the case with Microsoft’s now-defunct OS."
