Any suggestions please to get an O/S (WinXP for example) to run in a browser window?

windows4all.com looked pretty good as it 'emulates' one's own PC (which is what I'm after), but nobody seems home at that site (yeah, I have Silverlight installed).

If you're after full OS functionality, you're going to need virtualisation. What are you trying to achieve?

It used to be possible with VNC (Port 5800). Not sure though if that still works. Years ago since I last used it.

But thats not the OS in the browser. Its simply a display of the OS which is ruining somewhere else.
