I only see two version of Windows installed.
Hmm, then how come I see four Windows versions on that list?
The newest one goes first. Not that I see much difference between it and the second, to be honest. And the third. Each time I think that Microsoft is as glamorous as it gets, but NO - here goes the next shiny surprise! It even reminds me that company - err... you know, the dorks who sold mice with a single mouse button.
Hate to point this out, but didn't somebody else already come up with an operating system that was tightly integrated with their web browser? That worked out so well for them!
Why is this insightful? The Google's OS is free, so the browser won't be used to promote it. It's also free software, so anyone, including their competitors, can change it and ship it with their products.

From a brief look at the Wikipedia article, it appears that there is software (the second link is its homepage) that allows P2P routing with automatic discovery. I haven't found any notes on running this software on routers. It does work on Linux, though, and IIRC some of the open router firmwares are based on Linux. But documented way of setting it up on PCs is a start.
Please, can you help us to set up some sort of network using our home wireless access points?
I actually found this line very intriguing. Is it really possible to set up an autonomous network using any sort of commodity wireless routers? It might be a not bad idea at all in a densely populated metropolis. Probably none come with the firmware allowing to do that, but there might be open firmware alternatives. So, 3 questions:
1. Is it technically possible to connect two wireless routers together to form a network?
2. Is there readily-available software needed to set up a centralized/hierarchical network in this way?
3. P2P?
Ya'll hear about the geometer who went to the beach to catch some rays and became a tangent ?
