Open Windows (abbreviated as OW) is an ongoing project released by Apple that anyone can edit. The catch is that Open Windows comes with absolutely nothing installed; all extensions must be downloaded from the Open Windows website (windo.ws).

[edit] History

Open Windows was conceived of by Steve Jobs one day while on drugs. Inspired by awesome open-source projects such as StepMania and OpenOffice, Jobs wanted to help convert Windows users to the amazing functionality of OSX. We still can't figure out how open-source software can do this, but damnit if it won't stop most people from using it.

[edit] Popular Extensions

Some of the most popular extensions are based off of previous Microsoft creations but written completely from scratch and therefore bug-free (assuming that the programmer knows a compiler from his ass). More and more extensions are being created every day. Why not make your own?

[edit] Mineduster

Based off of the Xbox 360 game Minesweeper. It features added levels for increased difficulty. The annual Minesweeper Championship is now forcing competitors to use Mineduster because of a mastery of the Expert level.

[edit] Messy Desk

Based off of Microsoft Office. Its most prominent feature is the ability to permanently disable the Office Assistant. If you choose to use it, you can browse through a plethora of entertaining characters such as Annoying Coworker, The Boss, and the crowd favorite Straight Up Gangsta.

[edit] Xbox 360 Emulator

Never fork out money to play a video game again. All you need is a keyboard, and you're all set to play your favorite Xbox 360 games, complete with full backwards compatibility. Joystick/gamepad functionality is included.

[edit] Klondike

Based off of Solitaire. Nothing is changed here besides the ability to use custom images for card backs.

[edit] Mozilla Firefox

It's not based off of anything created by Microsoft; it's just a kick-ass browser.

[edit] Steve vs. Steve

A game where you can pit Steve Balmer against Steve Jobs for who the biggest freak is!

[edit] Apple Authentic Advantage (AAA)

The alternative to Windows Genuine Advantage, it works by comparing several random numbers to those generated by Apples servers. In the event that a non-authentic copy is identified, all power is directed to the display adapter, which causes the monitor to explode.

[edit] Linux Emulator

You will never ever need Linux! All you need is 384MB of RAM, a mouse, a keyboard and a weird looKing Konitor.` ` = not all everything is in it, only libc6, libc, glibc, Gnu Tools and X with xterm.
