Article ID: 272 | Rating: 5/5 from 1 votes | Last Updated: Sat, Jan 30, 2010 at 2:09 PM

Windows4all is a Microsoft Silverlight based online virtual operating system. It is a website that simulates an operating system inside a web browser. Windows4all.com replicates the desktop environment of a modern operating system. The user can launch applications right away without installation. Are you assuming that screen shot below is showing my desktop. No, this is the Windows4all desktop view.

At first glance, you would not believe that it’s just virtual version of web based Windows. Windows4all.com requires Silverlight 2 player to operate because it was developed on Microsoft Silverlight. Besides desktop, taskbar, start menu and sidebar, currently it includes such applications.

File Explorer
Internet Explorer
Video Player
Rich text editor
RSS reader
Notepad
Paint
Calculator
Games like Chess, Solitaire, Spider, Tic-tac-toe

Please note that Windows4all is not a Microsoft product. The system also supports installing program functionality. But this program should be developed in Silverlight and be available in Internet or local file system. This is the alpha version of Windows4all.com but it’s still wonderful.
