Don't know about any "dumb user" perspectives, but from a really smart and 
informed user perspective (-: e.g. mine ;-) OSeX is most DEFINITELY doing 
UNIX on the desktop right!  Mostly because it's not just Unix, but an Open 
Source variety of Unix!

As for an integration with windblows all I can say is HUH??
I don't see any gains in undermining the strengths of Unix and Open Source 
with the crippling bugs, viral vulnerabilities, user entrapments and 
corporape criminal corruptions of Micro$haft.

I do agree fully, however, that Micro$haft desperately needs to accept and 
(rigidly) adhere to open formats and standards if they expect to survive in 
the coming age of ubiquitous commodity computing.
