Why not based on BSD or Linux?? (Score 1)

... If the company used BSD or Linux as a core and simply created a GUI that they felt helped the needs of Windows users, the project would probably get farther in a lot less time. BSD and Linux are proven to be rock solid and stable so why start from scratch???? I'm sure the people who program this new "OS" are going to have a difficult time getting all of the Viruses and stuff to work properly. I am certainly not going to use this and I think the vast majority of us our happy with our *NIX systems. Look where WINE is today, It's been years and they still haven't got that far! By the time they have the Windows 98 API's completed, Microsoft will have Windows 2015 on the shelves.
