Best Windows Base Alternative

[SingaBoiy]

I want something that is exactly like windows xp but only free. Not linux but windows.

Ive heard about FreeBSD but dont know much about it.

FreeBSD is unix. Much harder than Linux. :lol:
There aren't any real Windows clones because the source code is such a secret. There is a desktop environment for Linux that looks as XP. You can see what it looks like here (http://www.xpde.com/). This is the closest thing to XP I've seen.

I was going to sell a system online that was ready-to-use. But I dont think it would be safe to sell something that had a... how should i put this... non-purchased OS on it. Can and I wasnted it to be easy to use for beginners. Can anyone think of anything non-linux/unix.

@ Xero Grid - thanks, ive seen that before but never really wanted to try it.

Sorry, but the only other free OS not related to Unix, is FreeDOS. (http://www.freedos.org/) :lol:
I know you don't want that. But, hey, if you want to reconsider Linux, you can go with something easy like Mandrake (http://distrowatch.com/table.php?distribution=mandrake).

Like I said, I don't know of any real XP clones. I mean there is a version of Linux called Linux XP (never tried it), but you said you don't want anything *nix. It's just everything not Windows is usually *nix.
