PC/OS Open64 is very close to the official release. The first coming is PC/OS Open64 Workstation with Open64 Server coming in late June. With this there have been several enhancements coming in play since the crude tech preview in January. After much market research most 64 bit mac hines come with DVD roms and dont come with CD roms so Open64 Workstation will come in DVD format only with 2 exceptions, Open64 Core and Open64 Server.
The new PC/OS shell will debut with the hybrid Mac OS /OS/2 interface which everyone around here adores which we hope all the users will as well. PC/OS Open64 Workstation we can now say functions properly on all Sun Microsystems 64 bit systems, let me reiterate, we work on ALL configurations. Other 64 bit systems can be hit or miss but not to worry, file the reports and the bugs and we will crush them.
Open64 editions sans core will retail for $49.99 from on-disk with a fully bootable, non-installable Live DVD image becoming available. Availability will be on June 1st 2009.
Welcome to PC/OS
So what's unique regarding PC/OS. It's the first Linux based distribution that provides ease of use out of the box. It provides all multimedia codecs out of the box, an easy to use and simplified interface. Great compatibility with older hardware to help you extend your hardware and software investments. Being based on Ubuntu Linux all software and hardware that is compatible with Ubuntu is compatible with PC/OS. Our mission statement is summed up in two words "Simplified Computing"

PC/OS Roots
PC/OS roots are derived from the Ubuntu distribution. Ubuntu is created and maintained by Canonical Inc. and has a vast community support system. By basing PC/OS on this outstanding base we cover two grounds, a lot of the problems and fixes are in line with Ubuntu. Many fixes for Ubuntu and Xubuntu work on PC/OS. All software compiled for Ubuntu runs on PC/OS and should anything happen to PC/OS users can still get their fixes from Canonical and maintain their distribution and makes the migration smoother. The desktop is based off of XFCE and is laid out similar to the BeOS. PC/OS does not aim to be a ground up reimplementation of the BeOS but to be as simple to use as the BeOS was. The XFCE desktop is light,modern and powerful. It can be used to power the newest workstations as well as older hardware allowing you to get the maximum potential out of your investment.
What can I do with PC/OS
It is your computer, do with it what you want. if you want to watch that Windows Media file, go right ahead. Your music files not in .ogg, thats fine by us. Do you want to watch that flash video on YouTube? go ahead.
Of course, we do encourage the open route. Open Source doesn't survive without contribution but you as users should have the freedom to do whatever it is you want to do.

We also encourage consistency. XFCE is our desktop, not GNOME, not KDE, not TWM, not PWM. of course in accordance with our first part of the mission statement the others are available for download and installation.
