Run Windows inside your browser with Windows4All

By Sharninder | Published: September 29, 2009

Windows4All is an awesome Microsoft Silverlight powered online operating system. The website simulates a complete operating system inside your browser and actually does a pretty good job of it.

The application is made to look like a default Windows Vista install and the simulation is so good that if you make the browser go full screen (F11), you might not even notice that what you’re using is only a virtual OS.

The default view comes loaded with a lot of applications to hold your fancy including an RSS reader, a Rich text editor, Paint, a media player and even a couple of games like Chess, Solitaire and Spider.

If you only want to surf the web, Windows4All has got Internet Explorer installed and you can get started by simply double clicking on the IE icon and typing in the URL to your favorite website, just like you would do on a normal operating system.

Windows4All also includes links to a couple of other useful application that can be accessed from the Start Menu. Just open the Start menu and click the Virtual PC link in the right sidebar. Here, you can see me running the G.H.O.S.T client from within my Windows4all session.

So, what are you waiting for ? If you had any doubts about Microsoft’s Silverlight platform and it’s capabilities, you really should give Windows4All a try and I’m sure you’ll find it useful.
