OS Has a Face You Can Love

“The first beta is out for Athena, which will be a customizable object-oriented interface that can sit on top of any operating system’s kernel including Linux, Mac OS and Windows. The modular design enables developers to write one source code base that can be run on all three platforms without rewriting the code.”

Hmmm. This is sounding like a bastard marriage between the promise of Java’s ubiquitous run-anywhere execution, the partially accepted flexibility of XML, and a high school student running loose with a pirated copy of Photoshop building skins for WinAmp. At the very least, it leaves me perched teetering on the fence post.
