Ignalum Linux - A Bridge to Windows?

Posted by CowboyNeal on from the up-and-coming-flavors dept.

linux slacker writes "Ignalum Linux 'is an intuitive graphical environment that works right out of the box and offers unrivaled compatibility with Microsoft Windows' or so says their website. The company is owned by four university students in Ontario, and one of their goals is to allow companies to incorporate Linux into their Windows environment, so users could still run Word, Excel and other popular Microsoft fare."

  1. no, really... by kd4evr · · Score: 1, Flamebait

    simulating 100% compatibility with a faulty, buggy, unpredictable and unmanageable s/w is either a prank or a contradiction in terms.

    My congrats to the 4 students for yet-another-distro but they surely won't able to simulate all the blue screens, dr. watson's and virii prone (with-welcome-sign) openings in less than 2.5*10^4 years. It took a lot of engineering hours in Redmond to make Windows the masterpile of crap that it is today.

    I don't think further bridges are neccessary - the trend is Linux and doing well...
