I wonder whether it really is set to ever become an alternative for the ordinary user. Its been around since the early 00-years and apparently is not as advanced and sophisticated like Linux. The aim of it seems to be getting the best in the Windows NT kernel to allow old proprietary software beign used by modern users today.

Still, I would prefer to get feedback from somebody knowing it before investing the time myself of trying oput a lifeCD . I have become a lazy dog these years.
