I looked at this only a few weeks ago when I first heard about it. The concept is very interesting since it would give you a faster and lighter Windows 2000 kind of OS. The problem is that it has been worked on for 10 years and has a long way to go as it is only now reaching late alpha at version 0.4. There is a great deal of further work to be done and it is difficult to know how many people are behind this effort or whether it could ever become practical to use. Even the TCP/IP stack is very poor from reading some of the reviews, and in order to make the OS successful, many disparate parts have to be rewritten and optimized. An OS needs the synergy of all the parts working simultaneously in order for it to work successfully.
