I've installed it and played with it a bit. It's essentially just a desktop
SuSE. They've tweaked the look a bit to be more like XP, slimmed it down a
bit (picked one hopefully best app, rather than shipping six web browsers,
four email clients, etc.), added Star Office instead of Open Office, bundled
some better fonts, and that's about it.
