>From cnet "Hoping to succeed in a difficult task, a software start-up plans to sell a version of Linux designed to run popular Windows programs." "The software is based on years of labor devoted to the Wine project" Well, it sounds to be just another linux distro to me, all set up to run windows apps with wine..
