Paragon Universal File System Technology Empowers Xandros Desktop Users to Save
Music, Photos, and Documents to Windows Machines

June, 2006.
Buggingen, Germany and NEW YORK, NY -Paragon Software Group, the leading provider
of innovative software solutions in storage management and data safety and Xandros,
the leading provider of easy-to-use Linux alternatives to Windows desktop and server
products, today announced that Paragon\'s "NTFS for Linux" is shipping with the
upcoming Xandros desktop release. The technology shatters the last file barrier to
transparent file sharing within a multi-platform framework. Xandros users will now
be able to edit and save their music, photos and documents to shared folders on any
Windows or Mac PC.

"Xandros has always been the leader in providing the seamless compatibility between
Windows and Linux, and we are delighted to contribute to the first desktop solution
bridging the file gap between the two systems," said Konstantin Komarov, CEO of
Paragon Software Group. "We are especially pleased to see our technology being put
to use in the home computer space, where many households are experimenting with
Linux on their second or third machine."

"Xandros users could always view files on Windows machines and copy them to Xandros,
and with the integrated Paragon file system technology, they can now edit and save
to Windows as well in a completely transparent fashion," said Andreas Typaldos,
Xandros CEO. "This makes Xandros the first Linux distribution to really allow true
coexistence between the Windows and Linux, which is huge in practical terms when
you\'re collaborating in a typical mixed environment. For example, a user can upgrade
a PC from XP to Xandros instead of the expensive Vista and continue to read and
write files on the previous Windows partition as before.\"

Features, pricing, and availability of the new line of Xandros Desktops, designed to
enhance the consumer\'s digital life, will be announced shortly. The Paragon "NTFS
for Linux" facility will be included with the fully featured version of the new
Xandros Desktop and will be available for other editions through the Xandros
Networks update service and store. For future product and purchase details, please
