Windows Bink.nu has more information and screenshots on Windows Fundamentals. "Microsoft Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs is a Windows-based operating system designed for enterprise customers with legacy PCs who are not in a position to purchase new hardware. WinFLP provides the same security and manageability as Microsoft Windows XP SP2 while providing a smooth migration path to the latest hardware and operating system."

That is not entirely true. If you install a crappy legacy Desktop that makes your eyes bleed in disgust and was designed without any thought on usability, then you have plenty of alternatives.
On the other hand, if you run *such* old legacy machines it is most likely not because of cost but because some custom software. So good luck with Wine as well.

Such old boxes tend to have glitches and cause more cost by offtime than a newer low-end office pc would.

Well, good luck using legacy software on Windows XP SP2 - I don't think the compatibility is much better than by using Wine.
