Not only free distros...
Why download Xandros when you can download or buy a real, fully functional distro such as SuSE, Mandrake, FC2, Debian etc...
It looks to me to be a dumbed-down limited OS. I guess this serves a purpose for those who can barely use windows. I guess the codeweavers stuff may appeal to some but that can be run on any distro. It seems to me if someone is that addicted to MS apps they should stick with windows.

You are correct that all of the above mentioned can be downloaded for free. I find value in buying the distros I use. SuSE 9.1 pro is excellent. I would highly recommend it.
