Microsoft Ships Windows Fundamentals
This week, Microsoft unveiled its latest Windows version--calm down,
kids, it's not Vista--a low-end version of XP targeted at older
"legacy" PCs. Foolishly dubbed Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs,
the new OS version aims to provide customers the same security
benefits as XP but on systems that, quite frankly, aren't powerful
enough to run a full version of XP. However, Windows Fundamentals,
originally code-named Eiger, isn't a full client OS. Instead, it's
sort of a hybrid thin-client OS, on which some code runs locally while
some runs on a Windows server. Windows Fundamentals is available to
corporations only via Software Assurance (SA), Microsoft's volume
licensing scheme.
