sounds good, shame you'd probably never get any decent apps for it

(do cross OS's exist like could this menuet run windows appz that would be cool)

You can run most windows applications under Linux if you use Wine (http://www.wine.org)

you dont actually install it, just put it all on a floppy disk, and then restart your pc.

yeah, you take the floppy out, restart the pc, and voila its windows.

It also loads the whole OS into the RAM, so you dont need to keep the disk in once you have loaded it.
