If it's real, and it actually WORKS, this could be the "killer app" that makes me switch to Linux full-time.

But the fact that they're already asking for money from users seems a bit fishy, and even after joining their "insiders" group there are still no guarantess you'll get to test the software. I'll wait and see. Sounds promising, but I'm cautious.

The funney thing is it uses WINE to run windows probrams, cant you just do that with any Linux version.

Are they doing anything special beyond being yet another Linux distro bundled with WINE? Is there some sort of tighter/friendlier integration between the OS and WINE as opposed to just installing WINE afterwards? Just curious 'cause as an admited newbie I don't see the difference.
