Linux Desktop? Lycoris looks like WinXP!

Lycoris Desktop

It looks ALOT like a hybrid KDE/WinXP desktop. Wondering if it's worth the download. Is it stable, and is it good? It looks "Professionally" done, and actually looks better than KDE In my opinion.

It's $29.95 to purchase, but Linux Compatible has graciously provided us with CD iso's

grab it if you want. I am curious to it's functionality, etc. But kinda hard to download off of 56k

Thanks

I thought WinXP looked a lot like Mandrake + kde.

It looks pretty neat for those coming fromt the Windows world and want a familiar looking desktop. Personally though I usually end up making my desktop look more like an OS X/WinXP hybrid (take the best of both worlds and have the desktop how I want it).

Shamrock , I just installed it yesterday and I love it . I downloaded Opera today - I like it better than Mozilla . It feels very XPish to me . There are familiar looking icons on the desktop similar to Windows My Computer , Network Neighborhood , and Windows Explorer . There is even a "Start" like menu on the lower left of the taskbar , you will feel at home with . Now I need to get a sound card that is compatible and I will make this my internet surfing machine for sure !

That is why it is worth grabbing right now while it is still possible!
They are going to get sued by the uncle Bill very very soon,
