It wouldn't surprise me if they could pretty much copy the "look and feel" of MSFT's GUI, as their patent law in software is not well developed. FYI..."look and feel" pertains to copyright law. By the way, who is the "they" you are referring to?

I'm not so sure about this myself. What will the costs and timeframe be of not just one, but several government bureaucracies, working together? My guess is it will be quite awhile before we see a comparable OS. BK
