      @widget Looooong story, but in short its basically the best of linux and windows mashed together, with full support for everything windows and linux. It has a windows xp feel, and is pretty damn amazing so far.

        @zeldatra Yep, and natively. That's the whole idea behind it.

      @widget I'm not the one messing with the interface, more of the backbone, so I'd have to get back to you on that.

      @widget Wine isn't involved at all, were using another method, which till we get this ready for use and have the source up, is not getting revealed. It's also mostly all c based.

      @widget Like I said, it's essentially Linux and WIndows all in one OS, so technically it is windows, and it's Linux at the same time.

      @widget For now, it should be legal. I hope to keep it that way to.

        @rainbowdashdc If this turns out really well and can in fact run windows programs natively, windows really becomes redundant and obsolete. (this will be free, right?)

            @zeldatra No it doesn't. I've heard of paid-for distros before. Don't ask me to name any, but I've seen them in passing.

            @zeldatra nope. There are distros that you have to pay for.
