Yeah, I've heard of it too. It does run most/all windows apps. It will also support linux apps. From what I understand it's based heavily on linux, but modified for native support of win32 and similar apps. Unfortunately it was priced pretty high. You cna get a free copy if you become a beta-tester, but I am fairly sure that is expensive too. I don't particulary like it though. Running windows programs on something else seems wrong. It won't help the linux world to grow if it becomes an extension to run windows programs. It is essentially a linux-based windows. While thats fine for some, I perfer to keep them seperate. Too much trouble nvolved in bringing them together.

But thats just my pessimistic $0.02

I'm a FIRST relic of sorts, I remember when we used PBASIC and we got CH Flightsticks in the KoP. In my day we didn't have motorized carts, we pushed our robots uphill, both ways! (Houston 2003!)
