This whole 'vixta' looks very interesting, but I've just gotta ask the question, can it run games? I'm not talkin' flash-based games, I'm talkin like Source games, Warcraft, Unreal, etc. Games are the only reason I'm still using windows...
If you would like to refer to this comment somewhere else in this project, copy and paste the following link:
WINE (Wine Is Not An Emulator) can be used to run some Windows games (I use it for WoW all the time, and there's a gaming-specific offshot called cedega) but there's no way to directly run Windows programs. It's really up to the developers to port a game to another platform, and while WINE can 'fake it' perfectly well for some things, it's not a real solution.

Make two CDs or one DVD!

Short answer: kinda
