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

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.

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

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.

There was no winxp load there among other things.

How do you know? Where is your proof?
