It's absolute pants !
Off the top of my head I remember it being a Russian offshoot of Fedora - and not a very good one at that
... and yes it's pretty old too
If you want the ability to use Windows programs, use 'VirtualBox' and install a copy of Windows inside Linux All the security of Linux, with all the features of Windows - what more could you want?

It's not what I thought it was, having clicked the link, but it's offering nothing over most other Linux distros I see their idea of running Windows inside Linux is via 'Qemu' a very old program with limited functionality (compared to VirtualBox, which is much newer and very close to Vmware in use i.e it works properly)
Theses people who think they're the only ones who've thought of offering an alternative to Windows - for a price, make me laugh. There's no future in it, when there are freely available alternatives which cost nothing.
The only ones who have had minor success in that field are Xandros who make a modest living from selling it to businesses and are currently enjoying the profits from the popularity of 'netbooks' which have a cut down version of Xandros on them. The home version they sell is hopelessly out of date though and struggles to support modern hardware
