All they're going to get is something like Mac OSX (http://citeseerx.ist.psu.edu/viewdoc/summary?doi=10.1.1.41.3...) with all the problems of two very different OS paradigms interacting messily.

We can only hope that it sinks without a trace.

I for one would be happy if I could run 4 windows specific programs in linux and get some hardware working for which the superior linux has no drivers.

Of course, there is VMware, Virtualbox, but thats more hassle than anything else.

''''We can only hope that it sinks without a trace.''''' I only can hope you are the only one who hopes :-) They are working on it for years...it's not going to sink, just like Reactos and Wine won't sink

Like usual, they are not going to believe your warning until they found out on their own.
