      I don't know - there was a screenshot of Microsoft Bob running under linux.

      Who would want to even do that is beyond me, it made me sick to just look at it. Its like putting janet reno in a miss usa contest, for lack of a better description.

    Thank gopod that they didn't include and screenshots of the new desktop. That could have overwhelmed my fragile sensibilities.
