No software is free and spreading that misconception is harmful.
This reminds me of the episode of the Simpsons where Lisa decides to rebel and steal all of the teachers' manuals.

Are you saying that this linux can run on a computer without windows underneath it, at all ? As in, without a boot disk, without any drivers, and without any services ?
That sounds preposterous to me.If it were true (and I doubt it), then companies would be selling computers without a windows. This clearly is not happening, so there must be some error in your calculations. I hope you realise that windows is more than just Office ? Its a whole system that runs the computer from start to finish, and that is a very difficult thing to acheive. A lot of people dont realise this.
Microsoft just spent $9 billion and many years to create Vista, so it does not sound reasonable that some new alternative could just snap into existence overnight like that. It would take billions of dollars and a massive effort to achieve. IBM tried, and spent a huge amount of money developing OS/2 but could never keep up with Windows. Apple tried to create their own system for years, but finally gave up recently and moved to Intel and Microsoft.
Its just not possible that a freeware like the Linux could be extended to the point where it runs the entire computer fron start to finish, without using some of the more critical parts of windows. Not possible.
I think you need to re-examine your assumptions.

He is--that's from a ZDnet forum or something from like ten years ago.

Yes. Due to scheduler fail I read the article after the comment.
@TwelveBaud, if I could give you all of the likes, I would, that was masterly.

Frankly, if I was a teacher and saw some shady guy roaming the school and telling children "psst, hey kid, you want to get some Linux?", I'd kick him out of my school too.
First it's free and fun. Then they grow a beard, stop washing, and rob convenience stores to get their RHEL support licence.

+2 for making me laugh
-1 because technically the shady guy wasn't the one at the school.
+1 net. Like approved.I should probably get to bed, my logic chains are showing...

And before you know it, they're writing front page stories on TDWTF.

Fuck you.
Sorry, reflex.
Anyway, you can always run Ubuntu in a virtual machine. Sure, it's half the screen size you're used to, if that, but still...

It does use Windows underneath, but they code name it "WINE".

More seriously though... Imagine you're an elementary school teacher. And one day, you see one of the kids teaching the other kids the "new, revolutionary and simple way to do math". He brings some books and sheets, gathers a few kids, and starts preaching the new way.
Then you press the kid, and it turns out there's the whole "community" or "organization" called "Helios Solutions" behind this new math, led by some guy, and I don't know if they meet with the kids or just scoop them off the streets, but apparently they're in some contact with them judging by the post. And by the cursory look, it's full of green-ink rambling about how the ways the kids are taught are evil and should be surpressed in favor of their ways.
And when you send off an e-mail to the guy, he replies with more rambling about how he's right and you're wrong, and how it's you who's holding the kids back when he just wants to give them freedom of thought.
And then you Google the guy some more, and find his photo.
Well I don't know about you, but I'd be calling the fucking FBI.

Actually better claim would be; it does use Windows underneath (really underneath), but it is called UEFI

What the fucking fuck was that? I sincerely hope that guy is in a padded cell now, and medicated with lithium.

Oh dude, you've never heard of Time Cube? Man, have you been missing out on the best the Internet has to offer.

It died for a few months. I think he was in the wrong 24-hour day and forgot to renew the domain name.

your link loads but quickly redirects to some domain parking
someone on the intertubes mention this redirect is in the 404 of a failed image
I can load it, but after half a second or so it redirects to your link. It appears to be a broken 1x1 image near the bottom of the page, and its 404 page is loading that search site.

Ah, that topic also had a link with the guy making an apology.

I have no idea what you are seeing when you try to browse http://timecube.com, but for me, the site looks the same as it has always done.
Just to make sure, I ran a WHOIS agains the domain:
http://mxtoolbox.com/SuperTool.aspx?action=a%3Atimecube.com&run=toolpage#
(You will probably have to hit "whois lookup" yourself because JavaScript)Domain Name: TIMECUBE.COM ... Updated Date: 2015-09-09T21:55:32Z Creation Date: 1997-08-25T04:00:00Z Registrar Registration Expiration Date: 2016-08-24T04:00:00Z ... Registrant Phone: +1.6784553019 ... Registrant Fax: +1.9999999999 Admin Name: Ray, Gene
So everything seems in order to me.

I am using the android chrome browser, and it redirects to
http://www.searchesinteractive.com/?pid=9PO96133D&dn=timecube.com&rpid=9PO78FWNP
After showing the page, like some javascript or html trickery.

Here, have RationalWiki's synopsis of TimeCube as a substitute.
