[Sussex] Xandros LINUX

[Macdonald-Wallace, Matthew J]

Looks pretty good, haven't got time at the moment to explore it in detail,
but notice that in one of the Screen shot's they've got an icon for MSIE and
another for MS Word.  

Are they using wine for this, or have MS released a version for Linux?
