How many POSIX-ish Desktop OSes do we need? The FOSS world is already hard at work on two "desktop only" OSes of the sort (Haiku and Syllable) and some crazy hacker with more of a profit motive has been banging away at SkyOS for years, too. When you combine those with the fact that Linux (and these days FreeBSD) can form quite a nice base for a GUI desktop system, I frankly fail to see the point of this one.
