That does sound interesting... Although, I ran Windows XP past the pull date 
by running a stripped down version, hoping the attack surface was smaller. 
It worked great as an application launcher, but applications soon stopped 
installing/supporting XP. I ended up with an old browser, which defeated the 
purpose.
