Version 2 Is Going To Be Released Soon. The file will be called: OutpostW_DiskImage_V2.7z
( Use 7zip to unpack it. Why 7zip and not regular zip? Better compression )
-----------------------
The new version includes more private security utility updates.
Desktop Chatroom
Functioning "LCARS" with pre-programed profile (Control your computer with voice), add new commands
More games
Increased stability for environmental portability
More documentation
-------------------------
Goals for Version 3:
More automated tasks
More RSS Sources
More developed robotics lab (closer to plug and play)
More developed dialup environment (so those without internet can still set up their own dialup communications network)
More Spreadsheet templates (common formulas, taxes, business, other finance, etc.)

Have your key ready.
[Note: This is a private, not for profit, distribution. Windows XP is no longer supported my Microsoft, so support has fallen onto 3rd party groups. This is not piracy, it is abandon-ware. Do not use this if you don't have a Windows XP key.]
The previous version of this distribution had some issues and it isn't recommended to be used. It had small problems, such as a corrupt windows restore CD ISO for example.
This, and other problems have been fixed.
[Note: I'm still working on getting rid of some odd registry key that keeps appearing (Kxce.exe) or something like that. All the threats related to it have been cleaned but when it got on the system it made itself a windows service so its trickier to get rid of it. It is just an empty key, but if you figure out how to remove it permanently, let me know since all the tips I've looked at on how to remove it didn't work. It is a false threat at this point though.]
umm.. more about this version. It has been expanded, more programs added, more detail and helpful tools. Some plug and play robotics software (plug and play if you use the recommended robotics hardware card (Arduino Uno).
In the next version i'm hoping to be able to provide some programming software along with a library of samples/examples so that if anyone feels inspired to dig in and learn programming, they will be able to develop unique software tools instead of looking for software that does it.
Custom software tools would be really helpful if you could make some, but is just out of my experience range.
The software doesn't need to look pretty, it just needs to handle data the way you normally would, but automated and in ways that save time.
Without further delay, here is the disk image for Outpost W - Version 2:

If you have any problems, send me a message, maybe I can clear up some confusion.
I'll be taking a copy for my own customers - although XP 7 and XP Black are better for them.
