We jumped quite a bit in version numbers because the OS is basically ready for the standard user. New features with this release include:
- Ability to run Windows programs
- Enhanced usability for former Windows and Mac users
- Adjustments to the window behavior
- New “Show Desktop” integration
A quick run down of what these features are. We’ve installed a compatibility layer that allows you to run programs made for Windows. Although by no means perfect this will allow you to execute many Windows programs just like installing Java will let you run Java programs.
The other three new things are usability features. Double click versus single click, double click won out. We change the shape of the windows slightly for a more minimalist view. And lastly just push your mouse to the top or bottom left corner and the desktop appears.
