Microsoft Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs is a Windows-based operating system designed for customers with legacy PCs who are running legacy operating systems and are not in a position to purchase new hardware. Windows Fundamentals provides the same security and manageability as Microsoft Windows XP SP2 while providing a smooth migration path to the latest hardware and operating system.

Windows Fundamentals is not a general-purpose operating system, but is designed to work with Microsoft�s Remote Desktop Connection client or third-party clients such as Citrix�s ICA client. In addition, Windows Fundamentals allows for a limited number of workloads to be executed locally, including security software, management software, terminal emulation software, document viewers, and the .NET Framework.

With Windows Fundamentals, Microsoft introduces the Windows Managed Desktop, which allows these desktops to be completely locked down.
