Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs (WinFLP) is an upcoming Thin-client Operating System from Microsoft . It was originally announced with a codename of '''Eiger''' and '''Mönch''' in mid- 2005 , and is scheduled to be released in June 2006 . Microsoft's intent is to provide a thin-client operating system that will provide basic computing services on older hardware, while retaining much of the modern core technology in Windows XP Service Pack 2 , such as Windows Firewall , Group Policy , Automatic Updates, and other management services. Users would typically make use of line-of-business applications that are hosted on a remote server using Remote Desktop. This version of Windows will not support Wireless Networks , Dial-up , or VPN connections, but it will support operating as a Diskless Workstation and remote booting. WinFLP is not intended to be a general-purpose operating system, and as such will not be made available through retail or OEM channels. Microsoft sees WinFLP as an inexpensive upgrade option for corporations that have a number of Windows 9x computers, but won't invest in new hardware to support a full operating system. It will be made available to Software Assurance customers. Just like previous Microsoft Windows codenames, Whistler and Blackcomb , Eiger and Mönch are mountains. Whistler and Blackcomb are in British Columbia, Eiger and Mönch in Switzerland. MINIMUM SYSTEM REQUIREMENTS
