Yep.  But you have to pay for software updates every year, right? :-)

Oh well.  It was good while it lasted.  I remember it being the first 
intuitive graphical installer that supported NTFS resizing quite well 
and people enjoyed using.  I remember giving a copy to some girl in 
early 2004 at school, and she was able to get through the installer and 
thanked me many times.  Other people also found it useful.  However, I 
also used to recommend Xandros to people who wanted to pay for a distro 
that had everything integrated (media players, codecs, etc) and was 
supported, but now I regret that!  Nowadays, you can do that in any 
modern distro without paying :-P  And distros like Lindows will give you 
support too...
