New life for old PC
From c|net: "The software, known as Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs, is designed as a stopgap measure for companies with a significant number of older Windows PCs that they aren't ready to replace and that can't be easily upgraded to Windows XP.
Formerly known by its Eiger code name, Windows Fundamentals gives those PCs some of the security benefits of XP but essentially turns the machines into thin clients, able to run only a few programs locally, with most software needing to run remotely from a server.
As Microsoft announced in September, Windows Fundamentals is being made available as part of Microsoft's Software Assurance licensing program. It's one of several changes the company is making to the program."
Looks like we have not yet updated our website: "Currently scheduled for release in June 2006, Microsoft Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs is a Windows-based operating system..."
Too bad is is not available for everyone but only if you have a Software Assurance License. The feature set also seems very limited. But as someone said a few of years ago: The Internet is the PC" or so. :)
