For a maximal dogfood experience, I was looking around for a way to use a replacement Windows shell with Wine as my desktop environment instead of gnome or kde.
Wow.
So far, all the ones I've found are either broken, hard to use, or just plain weird.
Anyone have a favorite I should try?

######### Test Calmira_Longhorn: cd <wine_c_drive> wget http://calmira.kyblsoft.sk/dwnlds/callh36.zip unzip callh36.zip cd CALMIRA To avoid, that the explorer.exe from calmira is used for the desktop, you need the full path to explorer.exe.so
wine <your_build_path>/programs/explorer/explorer.exe.so /desktop=xxx,800x600 CALMIRA.EXE
Sometimes, http://www.calmira.org is referenced, but that is outdated and give you an advertising website
