The biggest hitch in Xandros appears to be their patent covenant with Microsux, which will prevent them from distributing any GPLv3 software. While the base of software licensed under GPLv3 is pretty small right now, it will keep growing and eventually you will find that Xandros doesn't include some of your favourite packages due to their (Xandros') agreement with MS.
