Delivery of an updated installation media for Windows.
Delivery of an updated installation media for Windows.
I was considering a concept similar to SteamOS but with a twist—it runs on Windows, allowing you to play most games and switch between different modes easily. Anyway! It seems to be built around Windows, so would distributing an ISO be against the law? You'd still need a product key, but it would automatically install your custom launchers and game clients. So, are you ready for those legal questions before spending a lot?
It falls into a blurry zone where Microsoft isn’t likely to act unless you earn money from sharing the ISO. This implies zero advertising allowed. Avoid any financial gain—opt for a customized system image or a straightforward installer you can use after setting up Windows from scratch.
I believe Microsoft wouldn't permit building an OS on Windows. It would also be difficult to secure all necessary rights from the companies. Automatically installing launchers isn't feasible right now, as seen at the links provided. Sharing this information is straightforward.
The concept is centered around a foundation based on Windows. It will include Steam, Origin, and Uplay by default. Beyond that, I'm developing a frontend so you can seamlessly transition between clients using your controller, offering full controller compatibility across Windows, and converting to a XBMC media center with just a button press when you're finished playing games.
Have you completed that task already? It’s not disrespectful, but it looks like this might be a bit beyond your current scope. If you’re able to handle it, creating the full package as an installer for Windows would likely be the simplest approach.
