Ulteo Shows Linux-Windows Crossover Potential

An anonymous reader writes "With Wubi and now the Ulteo Virtual Desktop, we're starting to see examples of the potential 'cross-over' appeal of Linux to Windows users. Ulteo gets a nice look from Channelweb, which writes, 'Considering that this is not even a version 1 beta, we have high hopes for Ulteo Virtual Desktop. It allows Linux novices to dip their toes into the water without any fear, and lets Linux pros use their favorite applications when they are forced to be in a Windows environment.' This also seems to play into comments by Mark Shuttleworth, who has said the Ubuntu community may want to think about how it can start appealing to Windows users."

From the linked page:
KDE on Windows is mostly in an alpha state, so not suitable for day to day use yet. The parent poster made it sound as if it was ready to use. Anyway, thanks for the link. I wasn't aware of it.
