Surely you're better off copying Windows 7? It's obviously the future of Windows.

Btw, I don't think these projects are "neat" in the least.

But they do, at least indirectly, for example the WINE team running around after them trying to keep compatibility with Windows.

Remember? Maybe in the future the dev team can work on that.

Most web hosts are able to track referrals. A quick look at the referral list would have shown a number of hits coming from stop-microsoft.org, which might have triggered their curiosity.

I thought he made it pretty clear that they are not trying to create a Linux version of Windows, but a Linux version of the Windows that never was. If they were interested in Windows 7, they would have bought it.

No, it wasn't clear to me.

I thought it was the same, just a beta version.
I've never used either do I admit ignorance.
