Whatever that OS is, it is fraudulent and based on Linux Lite. Not to mention that the screenshots from the official website are quite obvious that the OS is based on Linux Lite as not all things can be transformed to Windows that easily. Somebody must have taken a Linux OS, disguised it as Windows and then selling it as Windows 12 Lite which is illegal enough that Microsoft will find out. It's a shame that the only way to get Windows 12 Lite will be to buy it BUT you will be ripped off if you've bought a fraudulent garbage like this.
It was discovered by some visitor of the computer roadshow/fair that Windows 12 Lite DVDs were being sold there and there was even a photo of them with the obvious looking instructions. It's not the first time I discovered something illegal being shown at the computer roadshow. The last time I discovered from the local computer fair at Singapore Expo had the NES/Famicom clones shaped like NES Classic/Famicom Mini in action. How could they get away with selling those non-genuine gaming systems locally? Even the local shops should be guilty of that in my opinion as the NES/Famicom I played in my childhood were non-genuine whatsoever.
I don't know if you're going to show that photo to Microsoft as evidence or not but my imaginary concern is that a paid Linux OS disguised as Windows is something Soulja Boy can pretty much do and Windows 12 Lite is one illegal example. Whoever sells this must have ruined his future as the Windows related stuffs are more or less copyrighted material.
The first time I discovered this fraudluent garbage was from the Softpedia website but other tech news sites might have mentioned it by then. I even tweeted about this to Michael MJD and he found it funny but there's one technical thing to remember is that, in-place upgrades are not available from Windows to this Linux-based garbage. Not to mention that Wine is still inaccurate in supporting newer Windows apps but it's still being updated to support them as well as to make sure that they can be run in Linux properly. For Steam on Linux, it may be a different story.
