Are they doing anything special beyond being yet another Linux distro bundled with WINE? Is there some sort of tighter/friendlier integration between the OS and WINE as opposed to just installing WINE afterwards? Just curious 'cause as an admited newbie I don't see the difference.

But the fact that they're already asking for money from users seems a bit fishy, and even after joining their "insiders" group there are still no guarantess you'll get to test the software. I'll wait and see. Sounds promising, but I'm cautious.
