This is more like Java for Linux C applications. What it looks like
they're promnoising is something similar to running multioperating
system coLinux with an X driver for the Windows GDI (and dummy
transition to the Windows window manager interface). It looks like
apps will need to be specially compiled to run in the interface using
something resembling Cygwin (or I assume on Linux a similarly modified
version of the GCC toolchain) to make a binary to work within it.
They haven't released anything, but have a few screenshots. It would
be interesting to see what it really does instead of just watching the
short videos that doesn't show you much.
The question I'd have is:
1) How big is the runtime
2) Whats the native interface interconnector
3) How big is each application is in its compiled state
But in any case time will tell what comes of it and what new and
wonderful proprietary GUI API's people will have to learn to use it.
