And why would I buy this?

This desktop version of the Linux operating system resembles the company's regular products but is free, is restricted to personal use and lacks some features.

The free version, for example, doesn't have e-mail support, an instruction manual, the fastest CD-writing speeds or the CodeWeavers software for running Windows programs on a Linux machine, Xandros said. It also comes with a version of Opera's Web browser that's advertising supported.

So why would I buy this over downloading any other distribution for free? I have no Idea. If I am going to pay for a desktop it will be a windows os. It is a bad idea and will fail.
