Review of Android X86 4.4R3

Android X86 (http://www.android-x86.org/) have been release of the new version of official release. The new version is Android 4.4_R3 which is the third release of Android 4.4. If you would like to test on the lollipop you may try the beta release.

Let's see my review:

Setup:
Lenovo Thinkpad X61 (Intel T8300 4GB DDR2)
Arch Linux Kernel - 4.1.2-2-ARCH

Review:
Although it is the release version, it is easy for me to find bugs / non-implemented part on the software.

See whats the improvment:
1. Bug fix and it works on my thinkpad now. Last version is not supported
2. For native run, seems everything works fine

Please find the list below:
1. No multi screen support (May be too harsh to an open source software)
2. Sometimes the text in android UI will come to garbage words. Toggle the UI will come back to normal
3. Screen rotation breaks the usage as for PC, no screen rotation is needed. Makes me like handicap when the screen rotate
4. Tested on KVM. But I still can't make OpenGL work on it.

Conclusion:
The result is positive for the new release and it run most applications stablely. It is not far away from daily usage. I am sure when this project come to a stable version, this will come to a evolution to the PC market that people will switch to use Android-X86 rather than Windows in their PC. Or may be someday Microsoft will be down because of this.
