wizardofwindows Posted June 30, 2005 Author Share Posted June 30, 2005 eiger is a new lean stripped down version of xp designed to run on older pcs with older hardware . Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Aegis Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Why buy a stripped down version when you can take off Windows' clothes yourself? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Zxian Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Eiger will apparently cost less than a standard Windows XP install, since it doesn't offer all the features of XP. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Clint Posted June 30, 2005 Share Posted June 30, 2005 Have a look here:http://bink.nu/Article3812.binkFirst thing that catches my attention: Not supportedWindows image acquisition (WIA)Telephony, VPN & Dial-upWireless networking (802.11) well, there goes that OS for using in older laptops... "Mönch" on the other hand looks more mature, but why miss out on such a simple thing as dialup?500mb HD, does that mean that it will be driven without pagefile?

Jito463 Posted July 1, 2005 Share Posted July 1, 2005 (edited) Well, if anyone had bothered to read Bink's article, this OS is only being marketed to nations with a weak economy. Those countries that can't afford to update to the latest and greatest tech but still have need for features from XP. And it's not just a slimmed-down XP, it's a hybrid XP Pro+XP Embedded.*EDIT*Sorry, that was a different article linked above. Read this one:http://bink.nu/Article4016.bink*EDIT2*Apparently, I should have re-read the article before I posted. It's being marketed to certain types of businesses too. It was some time back when I last ready it, heh.*proceeds to attempt extraction of foot from mouth* Edited July 1, 2005 by Jito463 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
