If they had a download of a limited term copy of it I might give it a shot
but to force you to buy it without a working test version they won't get
very far, not to mention it seems that it won't run regular Windows program.
I'll keep my 286's in DOS and Win3.11 - they work just fine for anything I
need including internet access, when necessary.

From thier website, I'd say it's functionality is as a
'work-alike' that they've made to have the same 'look' as Windows
2000 and which they've written a few applications for. it says
nothing about actually being compatible. Maybe a shell running on
top of something like a FreeDOS base?
