What do you guys think?
I'm pretty skeptical, but I still might try it out on a spare machine just because I'm curious.

So its windows 98, for free, but with a lot of stripped features and no support?
Isn't win 98 like £5 now?

Yea it looks like ass. It's still a cool concept though, and I'm sure if they get it solid enough they'll eventually catch up to current technology.
Dunno, I just like the idea.

actually it's a fantastic idea, as long as a few windows binaries (outlook, office, etc.) and 3rd-party apps will run on a mainstream hardware deployment without crashing (much). I would jump at the chance to rip ms' greedy subscriptions and cals out of my budget.
Can't be any less secure than any ms platform
nice find.

Wow, now that is cool. And I do not think that it is a modded Win98 because it has multiple desktip buttons.
Wow, this is actualy cool!
