[ga] Chinese Pirates Launch Ubuntu That Looks Like XP

["Jeffrey A. Williams" <jwkckid1@xxxxxxxxxxxxx>]

All,

  Sorry Jamie, seems that Ubuntu has also been hacked a bit
more successfully and the security potential for Unbutu's 
GUI is now in great doubt.  I can only guess that the IP
boys and Big Pharma will be screaming bloody murder soon.


  I can also asertain that ICANN's efforts at trying to 
make a "Deal" with China has been totally obliterated
accordingly.  Nice try Rod, but seemingly no cigar, eh?
  
  I suppose that one has to wonder whom really got the 
"Cooties" here...

 version of Ubuntu that looks just like Windows XP.
Really, really similar. Apparently because Microsoft were cracking down
on the actual Windows XP pirating though I think they will still suffer
for ripping off the GUI exactly." Of course, if that's the sort of look
you like for your desktop, you need not risk any download cooties or
language barriers; a http://ubuntuforums.org/showpost.php?p=8562983&postcount=11
reader in the Ubuntu Forums suggests this instructional video for
