Wikipedia talk:Articles for deletion/XB Machine
I am trying to rewrite the article according to WP standards. Please take notice of the following, if it may help:
- I am in no way connected or have interest in the assets of Xero Networks AG
- I consider the topic worthy of attention because it is the first of its kind free opeating system distributed to the public - i am not aware of other OSs offering such a unique set of features aimed at providing top security
- I agree it may look like spam, so i removed the part referring to Xero Networks AG's whereabouts and its product line.
I uploaded the new content for review.
