Introduction
Xandros Desktop OS Version 3
Standard Edition



Xandros Desktop OS Standard Edition is a reduced feature version of Xandros Desktop OS Deluxe Edition. It includes all the easy-to-use functionality of Xandros Desktop OS Deluxe, including the Xandros File Manager, Xandros control panels, easy Windows network interoperability and the 4-step installation process, but a few features have been removed to allow us to offer this product at a lower cost.

Following are the differences between the Standard and Deluxe editions:

* Xandros Desktop OS Standard Edition does not include CodeWeavers CrossOver Office so you are not able to run any Windows compatible applications on Xandros Desktop.
* Xandros Desktop OS Standard Edition does not include the ability to encrypt your home folders.
* Xandros Desktop OS Standard Edition does not include the ability connect to remote networks through a PPTP VPN.
* Xandros Desktop OS Standard Edition does not include the second CD which contains additional applications.
* No software manual is included with the Standard Edition, but you receive an 10 page quick-start guide and have full on-line help in the software.
* With the Standard Edition, you are entitled to 30 days of installation technical support via e-mail.
