You are kidding arent you ?
Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without
windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk,
without any drivers, and without any services ?
That sounds preposterous to me.
If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling
computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so
there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise
that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that
runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very
difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.
Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Vista, so
it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just
snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of
dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a
huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with
Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but
finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.
Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be
extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start
to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of
windows. Not possible.
I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.
