Linux XP is one of Linux distro that based on Fedora / Red Hat. Linux XP appearance looks like Windows. The start menu looks like Windows XP, but the navigation looks like Windows 98. Linux XP origin come from Russian, so don’t be shocked if some softwares in Linux XP is equipped with Russian language.

Linux XP can runs some Windows softwares, it’s possible because Linux XP has Wine (and ready to run) by default. Winamp, MS Office, MS Paint, are an Windows-based software that can runs on Linux XP.

By default, Linux XP will install some softwares on hard disk drive. In my opinion, the softwares aren’t complete. There’s no Office softwares such as OpenOffice; no GwenView, no Scribus, no Ink, no Games!! Here are the software default installed list on Linux XP :

Windows Vista.

Windows Vista Review.

When I got a free time in a busy month, my friends (Ivan Sagita, Ivan Zikri, and Tera) and I were trying Windows Vista, a newest operating system made by Microsoft. Here’s my review about Windows Vista :

The Tested Operating System :
Windows Vista Ultimate Release Candidat 1

The Installation :
Fast and very easy. More easy than Windows XP!

The Look :
Cool!! Start Menu, Taskbar, Progress, Windows, Icons, etc all cool…!!!! It’s much better than Windows XP.

The Compatibility :
Not good enough. Some programs didn’t work well on Windows Vista, sometimes crash/error. Just remember I tested in RC Version, I don’t know about the compatibility in Final Version.
