I was hoping an OC version was available so that I can see how 
different it is from v2.0 Deluxe.

Really?!  X2 is working great.  Both the wife and the mom are using it 
right now.  What they like about it is no so much what it has but 
rather what it does not have.  It has a browser (Mozilla) and an office 
suite (OpenOffice.org).  That's all they use.  It doesn't have a 
billion menu options which would only overwhelm them.  So, for their 
use, Xandros is ideal.

Now, if X3 was faster and came with FireFox and a newer version of 
OpenOffice.org and a better CrossOverOffice (for those Word docs, just 
in case), then I'd buy it right now.  But I'd really like to 
try-before-buying, especially since X2 is working so well.
