Windows4all.com is a Silverlight based online virtual operating system. It is is a website that simulates an operating system inside your web browser. Windows4all.com replicates the desktop environment of a modern operating system. You can launch applications right away without installation. Pic

Windows4all.com is web-based and requires Silverlight 2 to operate. Besides desktop, taskbar, start menu and sidebar currently it includes such applications:

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

Also it supports  installing program functionality. But this program should be developed in Silverlight, have valid url for xap file and be available across domain boundaries.

    What are some reasons for using this?  (I'm struggling to think of why...)

    I think it is not complete yet. But imagine it has all programmes that you use everyday. No need to install any program in your life. Would not it be fabolous? Now a days when I reinstall my computer, i have to install everything from the scratch. For example: msn, word, excel, outllook,  firefox, chrome, adobe, winrar, codes to run some video files, driver for my printer, skype, antivirus... would not it be fantastic if it was all online and no need to install any program ever in your life? This program would revolutionize everything if it could do all of this for me. But for now, it still has very few programs. But i hope installation would be a work of historic pc user very soon. This is the ideal website i like to have. But it still has a very long way to go.
