Of course we have heard of it! ;) But none of us is so brave to let it take a rule of his/her comp :( Seriously: it´s a question of time and laziness... :p But AFAIK it uses Wine (http://www.winehq.com) which is in development stage and it´s not usefull enough yet. On the other hand i must say i´m using wine from Codeweavers (http://wine.codeweavers.com) and it works quite well (flawlessly running apps are e.g.: WindowsCommander, The Neverhood, Free Tuareg, STP player, Wordpad, etc...) and its quite easy to install thanks to gui setup tool. /luci:

Do they have like a demo or something? I´ve know about them for a while, and would like to try it out, but I´m not shelling out $100 to try out an os that won´t play my games, or work with my skinnable. If it can do that, it´s worth the money.

All I see is a money back guarantee. Only $99, and you can be a beta tester! :D

Is the $99. one time fee? If so CHEAPER than paying a subscription yearly @ $35. to be a beta tester.........

They need to price themselves a little more competitivly. Or at lest have a trial version. Everyone knows once they have your money you won´t get it back in most cases. Esp software.
