"The International Open Source Network (IOSN) has published a free preview of its upcoming LiveCD that will allow computer users to experience the Linux desktop without requiring installation of the open source OS their PCs." And they require a browser with a proprietary plugin to view the interactive demo? Just doesn't seem right. :) Oh well, I have to think that the effort is an overall positive although I do need to learn more about it. |

Don't present a problem without presenting the solution. If they shouldn't have used Flash, then what should they have used for the demo? Animated gifs? dave |

I didn't present a problem. I was just pointing out what I thought was a little hypocritical. I don't see any possible advantage to having the demo in flash. There is an alternative called SVG. My solution would be to not have the flash there in the first place. A well presented HTML demo is more than enough along with offering the CD. All they have to do is boot it, no installation required. |

Quoting:A well presented HTML demo is more than enough How do you including the voice with the HTML? I've never seen a well-done HTML demo that incorporates a voice-walkthrough. dave |

Do you really need a voice? Have you actually watched it? I have a hard enough time staying awake at work, that really put me to sleep. |

I watched just a couple minutes ago. It's kind of a tutorial of GNOME, with a voice walking you through the whole thing. The voice is synced with the action. (Click on the hat ... cursor clicks on hat) dave |
