I think those systems are Lindows OS. I don't know what distros but its
basically Linux for the desktop at a very reasonable price. I believe their
website is at: http://www.lindows.com

The maker of Lindows.com is a maverick. His been sued by Microsoft because
of the name Lindows and I believe won. It does just about everything Windows
does at a very good price.
