Arf. If you want what about rename Linux Mandrake as Mandrake XP ? It will be
easier to recognise. Really, I don't think it is a good idea, and I really
don't want to see such a feature. It will mix people who are going to say :
how can I launch an .exe ? How can I install DirectX ? (question :what's the
equivalent of DirectX ?) etc ...
I hope we are not going to do another Windows, or else we will fail as we
can't overcome the original.

There are other way as a classification organisation : Network -> Mail Client
I prefer a search option in order to find very quickly some of the package I
need, even if, I know, I've got the ability to install them after.
