Review: Xandros 2.0: The best Linux Desktop?

The review makes a good case for Xandros.
Booting into the default Xandros desktop for the first time, you are presented with a 'first run' wizard which allows you to setup basic preferences such as mouse and printer configuration. I would like to state for the record that my Hewlett Packard LaserJet (connected to the network via TCP/IP JetDirect) was detected and available as a choice when I was presented with my printer preferences. This is the very first Linux distro I have ever used that performed that function. A nice touch. I will be interested to see how their upcoming business release handles detecting multiple printers on the network in an enterprise.

Something of interest to the gamers out there is that the official NVIDIA driver (not the generic 2D nv Linux driver) comes with the distro and is loaded for those who have the card.
