Which Linux distro is the most similar to Windows?

Question

Is there any (free) Linux distro which intentionally looks just like Windows XP or Vista?

Answer 1

in terms of looks and functionality i'd say Linspire [its got the unique click n run feature which is similar to windows ]. however, i'd suggest you go for ubuntu or openSUSE as they are better options.

Answer 2

Vixta looks (somewhat) like Vista.

You should be looking for stability and support in Linux distros, not looks. All Linux distros can be later tweaked to look like what you want it to. There are many themes at gnome-look.org and kde-look.org



Here are some good ones
