It's kind of cool but buggy. The IE is useless and nowhere resembles IE. It's just a back/forward button, a google search bar, a refresh, and a home bar, yet it asks me if I want to go online repeatedly while using it when I'm already online. It sort of brings flashbacks of IE back in the day when it would do that to me. It would be a lot cooler and performance a lot better if it wasn't all running on a browser.

hi, i was thinking, and this might sound realy stoopid but, how about some one actually making this as a real homebrwe app? i read about some one who got windows 98 to work on there psp, but it was slow and buggy. maybe if some one starts from scratch they came make it look like this and it wouldn't be so slow. i'm sure it wouldn't be that hard, if yoyu asked around and got some code from other people. dont ask me to though. i've never coded anything in my life.

No way, no how, don't even waste your time thinking about it.

Firstly, windows is closed source so there is nothing to port over. Secondly, even if it was open source, the amount of the code that would have been re-written would be enormous. If you ported the OS you would then need to port/at least recompile every app also, which doesn't help when most are closed source.

A total re-write of windows by a single (or small group) of homebrew coders is just a concept so insanely huge/ambitious and yet also pointless that I don't know how to comment.
"Wouldn't be that hard", "ask around and get code from other people"??????? It wouldn't be hard, it would be REALLY, INCREDIBLY, BEYOND COMPREHENSION HARD. I don't think you get just how complex an OS like windows is.
No one has the windows source code so anything they got from others wouldn't be windows code.

The only way it has been seen to run was through an x86 emulator like Bochs, which will be unbelievably slow and most likely buggy also, but at least you wouldn't have to port every app also.

Don't expect anything PC related above dos emulation through dosbox or SCUMMVM (only for specific games, mostly point and click SCUMM based).
