WinPET is basically an application launcher based on the PET (PErsonal Terminal) from Megaman/Rockman EXE series. It makes launching applications and internet related tasks quick and convinient.
In 2004 I joined a Megaman forum called ‘PET World’, which was focused on the PET toys and PET projects that people were working on. Most of the people who decided to make PET software tried to do things beyond their ability, and eventually gave up. I made the very small and simple ‘WinPET 1,” which was simply known as ‘The Navi Program’ at the time (I wasn’t very creative with names 
). It became quite popular among Megaman fans, and it spread to other Megaman forums.
I decided to remake the ‘Navi Program’ and give it a much nicer and modern UI, even though I had lost interest in Megaman. I have enjoyed working on WinPET 2, and I hope many Megaman fans will be pleased by my work.

Hey man, I’m on PET-World as well and I know about the “PET” project that was going on. I’ve decided to make a Linux distro that feels like an OS that Dr. Hikari might use.
Great work btw. I’m on Ubuntu so I can’t try this.

I’m using v2, and it doesn’t save Winamp’s location… Winamp version is 5, System is XP Pro, WinPET version is 2 for XP… latest version.
Otherwise, cool! I’d also like to see better performance between both it and Eternal Fighter Zero though. (That app’s version is Memorial 4.0x)

Sorry, but there wont be any future versions of WinPET.
February 15, 2009 at 5:56 pm
Hey there
i Was wondering even though you have said there will be no future WinPets have you considered going to a company like bandai or anothere japanese company and seeing if they would consider putting your application (possibly adding an AI of sorts) into a new version of a PET toy? it could be in world wide use within weeks if so! you could even add a link system to link the Pets together? just a thought if any one wants to add me or if you have questions on furthering my ideas my addy / email is goku94@hotmail.co.uk
thanks man this stuff rocks ive been searching for something like this for like 3/4 years!
cheers
