Linux XP is a shareware Linux distribution designed to imitate Windows environment using GNOME desktop; it can run some Microsoft Windows programs using Wine compatibility layer. First released by EnabledPeople, it is currently owned and developed by Trustverse company based in Moscow, Russia.[citation needed]
The current stable version of Linux XP is titled Linux XP Desktop 2008; it comes with a graphical interface similar to Windows Vista. Similar to Windows XP, Linux XP has to be registered within a 30-Day trial period after installation, or the OS will deactivate. As of May 2009, the English version of Linux XP web site does not provide any way to download the distribution or to obtain a serial number, and the staff do not respond to e-mail inquiries[citation needed]. The Russian mirror site is maintained in a more current state though; it provides a working download link and instructs that a serial number can be bought through Softkey, a Russian online store.
A September 9 2008 Distrowatch update [1] lists an active download link that has both Russian and International versions of the distribution; the Russian subdirectory hosts .ISO images of Home and Enterprise versions and the International version comes in a single DVD image, plus a torrent file for easier downloading.
