I have
tried xpde several times and although it looks similar, because of licensing it
will never be able to achieve the goal of being a XP replacment for those who
want that. Its a neat project and they have done a good job of mimicing XP but
as limited as it is, it would never be a good replacement for KDE even if it
were a perfect duplicate of XP. Hoever, nothing wrong with having it in the
repo. Just my 2 cents.

There's also the question , who`s actually doing it :)
and i also want to add few things,
1) Xpde is jsut in the Beta Stage.
2) We dont have proper apps for configuring and other stuffs as how other lightweight desktops have
3) I personally feel Xfce can be easily be used as the lightweight desktop optional to KDE or Gnome.
4) There are so many plugins available for Xfce to make it wonderful.In my Yoper, Xfce does not take much time to load KDE apps too..so thats also an advantage.
comments are invited....
