Paris, April 10th, 2007 - Today Mandriva is proud to announce the release of its brand new distribution that provides up-to-date and freshly released open source software: Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring.

Mandriva很驕傲地宣佈：我們推出了 Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring。

Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring integrates the latest innovations in the fields of office suite applications, Internet, multimedia and virtualization technologies. Not only does Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring bring to users the most advanced Linux operating system, it also includes some very special new features:

Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring整合了最新辦公室、網路、多媒體軟體以及虛擬技術。因此 Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring不僅僅是最進步的Linux作業系統，同時也包含了以下部分特殊的特點：

* WengoPhone, an open source software developed by OpenWengo that uses the open SIP protocol to provide competitive and high quality phone calls!

WengoPhone，一個開放原碼的網路語音(Vo IP)通話軟體。

* Google Picasa, an application for organizing and
editing digital photos, and Google Earth, the famous virtual globe;

Google系列的相關軟體，圖片展示編輯軟體Picasa、最受歡迎的模擬天體儀 Google Earth。

* Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring is compatible with the Wii remote.Users can therefore use it instead of a regular joystick onLinux games!

增加了與Wii remot的硬體相容性，使用者可以使用Wiimote來代替一般的搖桿。

* Drakvirt, a Mandriva-developed configuration tool to help users configure virtualization;

* Updated and improved versions of the Mandriva configuration tools;

最新且改良的版本的Mandriva設定工具(我猜這是指mcc)

Metisse is not a 3D desktop...
However, the key innovation of Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring is Metisse,the unconventional new window environment developed by the French In Situ project. Metisse is designed to implement highly innovative
features which improve the usability of the desktop, giving you completely new ways to interact with your system! Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring also provides the newest versions of the Compiz and Beryl 3D-accelerated desktops. Together, Metisse, Compiz and Beryl - with
the convenient Mandriva configuration tool - make Mandriva Linux the must-have distribution for graphical technologies.

對於Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring而言，最重要的創新就是 Metisse。 Metisse是由法國Situ計畫所發展出來非傳統的新視窗環境，Metisse的設計就是為了產生極度創新的特點來增強桌面的可用性，使你與電腦系統有新的互動模式。另外 Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring也提供了最新版本的Compiz與Beryl 3D加速桌面，不論是 Metisse、Compiz或是Beryl都可以藉由 Mandriva中的設定工具來輕鬆使用。

Join the FON community!
Mandriva and FON, the largest WiFi community in the world, have teamed up to develop DrakFON. This application allows Mandriva users to easily install the FON firmware on any compatible WiFi router and convert it into a FONspot, thus enabling the user to share his/her WiFi with the FON Community and in return to connect for free to more than 100,000 FONspots around the world. DrakFON can also be downloaded for free on FON's website: http://www.fon.com.

Mandriva已經與FON合作發展出DrakFON，藉由DrakFON可以讓Mandriva的使用者更簡單地安裝DrakFON韌體在WIFi路由器上，然後轉換成FON的發送點。接著就可以與FON社群分享WiFi訊號，而你也可以藉此免費連上全球超過十萬個FON熱點。 DrakFON可以在FON的官方網站上下載(http://www.fon.com)。

With Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring, users can manage their IT infrastructure by running many virtualized Linux and Windows operating systems simultaneously on a single physical machine powered by Mandriva Linux. 2007 Spring integrates four major virtualization technologies: VirtualBox, VMware, Xen and QEMU with KVM.

Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring的使用者可以執行虛擬的Linux或windows系統在Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring中。Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring整合了主流的虛擬技術：VirtualBox、VMware、Xen、QEMU。

Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring provides users with all the latest key open source desktop environments and applications such as:

Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring提供使用者以下最新版本的開放原始碼的桌面環境及軟體。

* X.org 7.2
* KDE 3.5.6
* GNOME 2.18
* OpenOffice.org 2.1
* Mozilla Firefox 2.0
* Mozilla Thunderbird 2.0

A new dimension for laptops And finally, 2007 Spring has a special focus on laptop power management: new graphical desktop applets (KPowersave and GNOME Power
Manager), better frequency scaling (frequency is adjusted on demand), new suspend tools framework (from freedesktop.org), bootsplash support when hibernating and intensive hardware testing to improve support on a wide range of laptops.

Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring也特別在筆記型電腦的電源管理上做了處理：新的圖形桌面協定.........

As usual, Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring is available in five editions:
Free (the purely free Mandriva Linux), One (the live/install CD), Discovery (for Linux beginners), Powerpack (for advanced users) and Powerpack+ (for small businesses).

與往常一樣， Mandriva以Free、One、Discovery、Powerpack以及Powerpack+ 這五種形式來釋出Mandriva Linux 2007 Spring。

"Mandriva has decided to give its customers the best product yet by sharing freshness and innovation. We are therefore proud to be the only leading distribution to integrate outstanding, visionary technologies such as Metisse, as well as the more common Compiz and Beryl. At the same time, we have not forgotten the basics, and 2007 Spring provides everything customers need: stable, useful and friendly applications", declared Camille Repussard, Marketing Manager of Mandriva.
