Although I worked on the team that designed and built the EOL testers for the Zune family, I have no internal knowledge on this - this is purely my own speculation: I like to think that MS "did" the Zune for a number of reasons, not only to try to make $ in that product domain. My gut feel is that a lot of what they learned during Zune has gone into the Windows phone, and part of me beleives that the Zune was, at least in part, a precursor to the phone by design.

Basically your Windows desktop is simply an application that is started up by Windows after the user logged in (or it logs in automatically). You can change the registry entry for this to any program you like, including a LabVIEW app. Needs some careful planning ahead, because once you do that, you mostly only can do things in Windows that your application provides an interface for. So if you don't plan some way to startup for instance the file manager, you might have locked out yourself for that account pretty effectively. One exception is Ctrl-Alt-Del which still works, but with some Windows API magic, this is quite easily remedied too. A computer that is tied down like this is pretty hard to get into in other ways than your Shell replacement app, but again watch out, this applies for you too, not just the operator noob.

Sorry but imho this is just a example of using the wrong tools for the job. LabVIEW is great but is simply not made for this. You can do this much better and faster in other languages such as indeed php, python, etc...
