This is indeed exciting.
However, having spent almost 5 years in evaluating various Linux systems to replace MickySoft.
I have been very disappointed in the clumsy and at times annoying limitations in the Printer Interface used on all the main distributions especially those using the Mozilla suites, Evident also in the printer switching and page formatting in Netscape/Mozilla etc on Windows.
The KDE suite appeared to be the only Desktop even close to the functionality and performance of Windows/Macintosh systems.
but it is not set up as the primary interface.
The other failure I found was that there is nothing to equal the Roxio CD recording suite with its CD Cover Data Transfer. Suites I have tried require a lot of fiddling and often failed in recording.
