Thanks guys, I know Zorin OS and thats what we are running away from, my client feels the software does not meet their needs as the free Zorin lacks key functionality we needed. I must add that Linux is "free", the "free" Zorin is not entirely free. There's a Gnome that looks like XP, I have that in several installations, im not looking for that. Lastly, Windows is still the preferred software for cybers, though maintenance is high unlike Linux that we've rarely had to reinstall. Now that there's no ready answer on the list, I will pick up this with my friends at Microsoft. Thanks Peter On Thu, May 10, 2012 at 7:01 AM, Moses Muya <mouzmuyer@gmail.com> wrote:
I know XP has a version that was specifically created for Internet Cafés. It has nothing to do with specific features but licencing / legal. Do not expect to find a Cyber billing system installed on it. Unfortunately I do not remember the details - Google is your friend on this one. I also know of Zorin O.S which is Ubuntu made to look like Win 7 or Win XP - complete with the proper icons and naming. This is what you would call Linux for Windows users and since Microsoft has not sued the company yet I'm certain that it's fine to use it without fear of legal action from anyone. Why don't you use this one then purchase a licence for Microsoft office since most users prefer that to LibreOffice? At least you will save some cash on the O.S licence.
