I think the key here is that they're trying to be Windows *compatible*
without really cloning it (i.e. look & feel). 

It sounds like driver compatibility is high on their priority list. It's
an interesting idea since one of the hardest parts of building a new OS
is hardware support. Windows drivers are available for pretty much
everything, so if you can reuse those it saves a huge amount of work.
