Replacement to XP on Opensource

Open source again comes to the news, as i mentioned in my earlier post about Open source taking the grip on the market. Now Microsoft has some serious thing to Look up on. Windows XP is the most successfull OS in the Microsofts history. Now a company named Rain Forest wind Guangdong computer technology has come out with a alternative to XP in opensource community.


Rain Forest Wind has created a new operating system, dubbed Ylmf OS. It is based on the popular Ubuntu platform but looks exactly like Windows XP. This OS is based on Ubuntu 9.10 (Karmic Koala) and also integrates OpenOffice3.1, an office software that will allow Chinese language customers to open all Microsoft Office files.

Ylmf also integrates Wine, CompizConfig Effects Settings manager, Firefox, aMule electric donkey download, Pidgin instant messaging client and FileZilla FTP client.

Most of the Chinese fonts are integrated into Ylmf, so it's rather impossible for English language users to use it. Guys these chinese markets have already created a serious impact on Mobile industry, electronics etc now they are threat to Worlds Software Giant Microsoft :) that's interesting. Mr. Ballmer please have a keen Look around.
