Hi Gize

This is a copy/paste of an email I just received.  Have any of you out 
there had a look at Ulteo?  Do you think it's worth a look for non-tech 
Linux user?


"We're pleased to announce a new Ulteo product called "Ulteo Virtual
Desktop" (Beta) which allows you to use Linux applications on the
Windows(TM) operating system.

Ulteo Virtual Desktop is a full Ulteo system that runs seamlessly on
Windows and offers a large choice of Linux applications, including the
Firefox web browser, Thunderbird email client, OpenOffice.org office
suite, multi-IM software such as Kopete and many others.

It also offers all Ulteo features that are already available with the
Ulteo Application System. This includes automatic system and
application updates from the Internet and document synchronization
accross all your user's Ulteo systems. 

It's been designed for individuals and corporate users who want to
have Linux and Windows applications together on the same desktop
without the hassles of dual booting or virtualization.

Once installed, the Ulteo Virtual Desktop offers a special menu that
can be used to launch a choice of well known open source applications.

Ulteo Virtual Desktop uses special technology built on the top of
coLinux. It offers performance close to a native installation on the
hardware because it uses no virtualization software.

Applications can naturally access the user's documents in "My
Documents". Sound and printing are also supported on the fly.
