I think a lot of people are missing the point of this
product. This isn't a "let's run console apps across different
OSes." You can pretty much do that today with no problems. We're
talking about *GUI* apps here. Further, the Lina teams claims
you get a *native* user interface for each OS from the *same*
binary executable. Depending on how limited or watered down the
"native" user interface is, this is quite impressive. hLater,


How is Lina different from VMWARE? It uses a Linux kernel
under GPL, but they seem to want commercial licencing.

VM eats resources (RAM, disk) which don't seem to be particularly
short. One hassle is you usually need a disk partition dedicated
to each OS, and full base installs to get full functionality.

VM is like multitasking OSes. A number of us could write one,
it's much easier than writing an OS.
