   I get "focus follows gaze"?

Seems to be based on coLinux.

I still don't quite understand how the hell coLinux works.

"In effect Cooperative Linux turns the two different operating system 
kernels (Linux and NT) into two big coroutines."

I think it loads the Linux kernel as a WindowsNT *driver* or something. 
Which sounds pretty damn crazy...
