Some notable quotes:

According to SpecOps's technical executives, David used reverse engineering to
create a "Windows Subsystem Simulation Environment" to allow Windows
applications to run "natively" on the Linux operating system.

It also corrected design flaws in the Microsoft Windows system to make the
simulation more efficient and avoid system crashes.

SpecOps said that David incorporated into its architecture the top features of
the preceding Windows compatibility projects.

However, unlike other simulation applications that still requires the user to
have a copy of Microsoft Windows to run the applications on the computers, the
David bridge software only requires users to install the middleware into a
Linux system before installing Microsoft applications.

Have been hanging out in some Linux forums/chat rooms. Word indeed has gotten
out, and I think their site may be experiencing a ... slashdot effect once it
hits the PR news.
