It will allow the user to start the live session for the respective architecture (see the above section for details) or permanently install the operating system on a local drive.
As its name suggests, Window Maker Live CD is an operating system system distributed as a Live CD and built around the Window Maker project, which is its default graphical desktop environment.

Default applications include the Pidgin multi-protocol instant messenger, Mozilla Thunderbird email and news client, Seahorse password manager, Mousepad text editor, FileZilla file transfer client, Thunar file manager, Geeqie image viewer, Rhythmbox music player, SMPlayer video player and Mozilla Firefox web browser.
