After less than 6 months, my Iliad began to fail. It will jump 15 to 20 pages at a time, no longer connect to my PC and the battery life is down to 5 hours from 15 hours.
iRex is stonewalling me about the repairs and ignores my repeated questions. Never buy anything from iRex.
If this were real it would have been done with linux, not windows. There is no way that any ebook reader would have the resources available to support XP, unless the OS itself had been heavily modified. best you could probably do on this is running linux from kernel with a manually configured xfce GUI, and even that's a stretch.
You can modify the XP start up so there is no splash screen, Windows sound, or most of the usual resource-sucking nonsense that M$ does. My own system is set like that. If I were doing it on a resource-limit device, that would be the first thing I would do.
However, you are correct, this is fake, but there is a more basic clue if you think about it.

Looks at the date this was posted. It was an april fools joke. The iLiad boots, and connect to an XP computer over VNC.

Interesting that there is no WinXP port for the iLiad's CPU (the Intel XScale).
