Cairo shell has been around for quite a while though. I remember trying out alpha version on Windows XP many years ago. I'm not sure if the current version is a fork or someone sold the brand but it has been around for a longer time. I also recall it wasn't open source at first, but was later open sourced. It just never gained enough momentum and publicity.

It looks like they took the old blog post updates offline, but they’re available on Wayback machine [0]. The comments on posts back in 07/08 were consistently critical of the project’s slow development speed and use of photoshopped mockups to drum up hype.
