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 above screen shot is showing my desktop. No, this is the Windows4all desktop view. At first glance, you will would not believe that its 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.

Windows4all

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

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 its still wonderful.

Update: Thank you Akmal Wardak for your point. After you commented here, we have figured out that Windows4all is not a Microsoft product and we have mistakenly Introduced it like this. We apologize to our community.
