No MS apps will make it into muncher. Mucher will have three main
compents, they are called the the Macrokernel, do-hickies, and
thingamabobs.

The Macrokernel is the core system, hangs out in the linux partition.
consists of Xfree86, wine, DosEMU, gnome, FVWM95, and supporting libs.

Do-hickies are the things that hang out on the desktop they are really
linux apps hanging out in the Macrokernel. They look like windows
explorer  ActiveX compnents such as My computer and the Control panel.

Thingamabobs are larger do-hickies. They are full apps that are also on
the macrokernel. This includes apps like Mozillia, a gtk text editor, a
linux gtk verson of winipcfg that just snags output from ifconfig and
makes it look pretty. I will not use any MS thingamabobs. I'll have to see
if I can try and find system TTFs that don't belong to MS though.
