I didn't know about WinFLP at all. I can understand why Microsoft wants to keep this obscure. If word got out that WinFLP is a compatible replacement for Windows XP that runs on lesser hardware, a lot of people would be interested in getting it for their older systems! I know at least two people that are financially poor, but still like to use computers, and have trouble trying to keep up with the latest versions of Windows because they have to use very old hardware as they can't afford new. The forced hardware upgrades required to keep up with Windows operating systems have been a gravy train for the hardware industry. If word gets out about WinFLP, and consumers start demanding it, this gravy train could come to an end.... Wow. I didn’t know about WinFLP at all.
