Windows Xp For Legacy Pc's
« on: December 30, 2006, 10:48:00 AM »
I was just wondering If this could some how be manipulated for Xbox or any other purpose.

Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs (WinFLP) requires:

    * A minimum of 611 MB of free hard drive space. Actual requirements will vary based on your system configuration and the applications and features you choose to install.

No I was just wondering from Some of the gurus around here if it could. I thought since this was made for comps with low end capabilites. Maybe it could be manipulated,edited...etc to work.

You may well be able to run this on qemu, its requirements are indeed more modest. Try it.

It's available from an extended support programme for Windows volume licencees only. The idea is that when your NT4/2000/whatever systems stop being supported by MS, you can upgrade to XP Fundamentals if your hardware is too old to run the regular XP. There is no retail version or other version available to normal home users.
