2XLifeCyclePlus for Windows XP is Having a Very Busy Day—the Download Has Already Passed 1000 Units
Dallas, TX (PRWEB) May 08, 2014 -- 2X Software, a global leader in virtual desktop and application delivery solutions, announced today that its latest product, 2XLifeCyclePlus, hit the 1000 download units mark last weekend, and the number is continuing to grow.
2XLifeCyclePlus is enjoying a boost in popularity, thanks to the last product reviewed issued on ZDnet by Ken Hess. The author has tested the product, and he has summarized his impressions and ideas on his blog.
“Well, thanks to the brilliant minds at 2X Software, the same folks who bring you application and desktop virtualization at a fraction of the cost of a Citrix-based solution now give you the 2xLifeCyclePlus replacement shell for Windows XP. This free download will allow you to keep your XP-based system indefinitely—or definitely until Microsoft offers you an operating system you're willing to live with again.”
