Just like Linux to which it is closely related, it's UNIX based with a
compatibility layer that allows you to run Win32 apps. All common Win 32 apps
are running well but there is no VB support and it will not be implemented
because of philosophical reasons. It can be installed right on top of DOS or
right on top of the Windows kernel without partitioning. It supports the Opera
6.0 browser and also has a smaller native browser. I use chess software mainly
to test the compatibility layer of my main project and the bench marks so far
are better than can be expected under WindoZe. The installation requires of
course a few DOS commands just like any common Linux distro but once the OS is
started you do not need any DOS commands anymore. Maybe next month I'll
distribute it to a few serious beta testers. Drop me a note if interested.
