nothing looks much different than your average linux system...any distro will do all that they say, and the wind0ws app running thing you're talking about is probably Wine. For 99 cents, it's not bad to have a linux live-on-cd. I'd say it was a good deal, but probably not all it's cracked up to be.

After a bit of googling, it appears it's just a modified version of Simply Mepis: http://www.mepis.org/node/7645

Err I'd never buy that or even download it. They spin so much rubbish in their ad, that's gone way beyond "selling your product". Brb gotta go reset my BS meter.
