Good point.
One of the reasons it slowed down was, they had some developers that were using MS code. So, they stopped developing, and audited their code base. That took a year. Now, it's pure code, and it's clean.
It is rumored, though no hard proof, that MS has given some technical assistance. Which would make sense for several reasons...
* Development proceeded at a very rapid pace, as soon as the audit was completed, to the point that I could install Firefox, without a glitch. * If successful, it would take some Linux users away Linux. * If successful, MS would still gain because it's able to run MS applications.
Give it a try. You can d/l it as an
.ISO , or preconfigured, in a
Virtual Machine server, in
QEMU, or as a
Live CD and not effect your Win install.
