Linux Vixta
Wednesday, October 10, 2007 by PPV
Vixta is a Fedora-based Linux distribution designed to be user-friendly and eye-catching, similar in look and feel to Windows Vista. One of their goal is ABN - AbsolutelyNo Config.
Application bundled with it is Konqueror - the equivalent of Explorer, OpenOffice instead of MS Office, and Firefox of course for browsing the web. Absolutely not WGA infected!
I think the similarity of interface and name will cause problem to this start-up distro. Expect MS lawyers to file lawsuit against them, similar to what had happened to Lindows. Microsoft argues that the Lindows name is misleading and due to the trademark lawsuit, Lindows changed its name to Linspire.
I just hope this "good-looking" distro will last.
