xpde linux site access denied why?

[syscrash2k]

same here, it doesnt work. I never go there anyway, no big deal :p

[neowin_hipster]

It was /.'d yesterday. Today might be same deal, either that or MS decided to take legal action.

Maybe, it's because the server can't handle a lot of hits/loads? OSNews.com, Neowin.net and Slashdot.com have posted the story about it.

If the server was under a large load, it would either have time-outs or server busy messages. Someone did shut down/suspend their account.

[Impulfusion]

Blah it sux, I really wanted to see those pictures!

[neowin_hipster]

Well, it looks like win2k except there's different icons and slightly different looking buttons. Same style interface though.

[divinatum]

did anyone manage to snag a copy of this? id like to see improvements since .2

It's not shut down, microsoft has NO grounds to file lawsuit since they themselves defeated a lawsuit from apple about "look and feel". it was ruled you cannot copyright a "look and feel" so XPde is here to stay.

Obviously some of you in this thread have never seen a slashdotting ;)

Looks like your stuck one way or another. There are no mirrors for it.

i've download it last week, install & properly configure it using enclosed instructions.

All I can Say about it is, It just SUCK......

Only it show you the fuqin Graphics of Windows 2k.....& nothin else.

the Menus not working.....(like when dbl click on My computer, it do nothing,& simillar to my doc's. when right click on desktop choose properties, it just show some useless buttons)

they need huge improvement to this project.

My personal opinion to this garbage is, Its a Big Joke with Linux Users.

Yes the site has been getting raped with the heavy hitters (/., OSnews, neowin itself) all mentioning the site within a couple days. So I'm sure it'll return once people stop hitting it so much.

If you want Linux to look like Windows though, you can always install Lycoris or Lindows (ugh).

Yeah, they shouldn't have declared it stable and said it was finished. Oh, wait, THEY DIDN'T. Notice how the version number is less then one? That means it's PRERELEASE software. It is mearly a preview. Save your bitching till at least there is a 1.0 version out the door.

Well said. Too many people complain after running alpha/beta releases of software as if it were labeled a stable or final release by the developer. The versioning system is there for more than just PR or gimmicks.
