Interesting. The below quote is from one of the related articles. Does
anyone know more about the win95 clone? Is that the same as the project to
run windows binaries, or a replacement desktop with win95 look 'n' feel?

  A standard interface. This issue will
prove hardest of all because it flies in the face
of the Linux gestalt. Itfs not a technical issue.
At least one firm has already built a Win95 clone.
Rather itfs the problem of getting the fiercely
independent Linuxites to agree to a single
standard. Remember, the core community is made up
of Unix geeks who think graphical interfaces are
for sissies.
