Micro$oft lies in the Windows Thin PC FAQ

Well I read the Windows Thin PC FAQ here, and found some HUGE lies they did. It's just funny that they're trying to hide the truth, when in fact you can just easily do what they don't want you to do and figure it out.

First lie: What kind of hardware can I run Windows Thin PC on?
They said that Windows Thin PC's system requirements are this:

1 GHz or faster 32-bit (x86) or 64-bit (x64) processor

1 GB RAM, 16 GB available hard disk space

DirectX 9 graphics device with WDDM 1.0 or later version driver

Bootable DVD-ROM drive

They might be true about the processor requirements, since I found out that a Pentium III with 800MHz clock speed can't run it pretty quickly. However, they LIE about the stuff that I marked.

Windows Thin PC CAN run on 512MB RAM, provided that you set the page file to at least 1000MB (approx. 1GB), so that it doesn't throw up low memory warnings to you. It's disabled by default for some reason, probably because they wanted to force you to get AT LEAST 1GB RAM.

16GB HDD space? This shit can even run on the 3.5GB minimum! However, the recommended disk space according to setup is around 8GB, and I set 10GB on the partition where I installed WinTPC at, and it runs seamlessly.

Bootable DVD-ROM drive? USB sticks can also be used to install this. Just use the M$'s own USB/DVD download tool and it should install normally.

Second lie: Can I run applications on Windows Thin PC?
They said that you can only run applications that fall into one of the following categories: However, you cannot run any productivity applications, such as Microsoft Office and similar applications.
 * Remote desktop clients
 * Management
 * Security
 * Media players

THIS IS A TOTAL FUCKING LIE. I installed Chrome, Virtual PC 2007, which are ALL productivity apps and it runs perfectly fine. This is just another way to make you think that this shit can't run those.

Actually, doing so violates the terms of use, but WHO CARES ANYWAY. They can't even know if you're using those or not.

Third lie: Can I run WinTCP in a virtual machine (VM)?
They said that WinTCP CANNOT be run in a VM, but THAT'S ANOTHER TOTAL FUCKING LIE. I installed this on VMware, and it works SEAMLESSLY. Even VMware tools can be installed on this OS.

Yet another lie that no one cares about. They'll just try it anyway and see if it works.

Again, doing so violates the terms of use, but who cares.
