    Any body tried this OS. It is still probably in Alpha stage but sounds prety interesting to me. I would have tried it right away but I don,t have a test machine.

    isn't this basically the original idea behind Linspire Linux, which they dropped because emulation is slow no matter what?

    I don,t know about this.

    I just tried live CD and GUI is nice. Options look like windows but OS is still in too early stage. BTW the live CD is practically an empty CD, just a GUI!
    But I think install CD has more options as I saw in their forums( I registered but could not login in spite of repeated trials-- even the site is in alpha stage!)

    I am downloading the VMware version of it and will install in VMware player to see how it works.
