Windows Operating System For Less Powerful Hardware


I have seen many people installing and using Windows XP on really old hardwares. It is really a pain in arse to use it on old hardwares because Windows XP works really slow on them.
There's a workaround to this by using Linux distros such as damn small linux, puppy linux, arch linux (not for newbies) which literally brings it back to life. However if linux is just not you and you still want an XP feel, you can download the Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs ("WinFLP").

Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs ("WinFLP") is a thin client operating system from Microsoft, based on Windows XP Embedded, but optimized for older, less powerful hardware. It was released on 8 July 2006. Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs is not marketed as a full-fledged general purpose operating system, although it is functionally able to perform most of the tasks generally associated with one. It includes only certain functionality for local workloads such as security, management, document viewing related tasks and the .NET Framework.

Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs is exclusively available to Microsoft Software Assurance customers, as it is designed to be an inexpensive upgrade option for corporations that have a number of Windows 9x computers, but lack the hardware necessary to support the latest Windows. It is not available through retail or OEM channels.

It needs a minimum of 64MB RAM (128 MB recommended), Hard disk space - 610 MB (1 GB recommended) and CPU - Pentium 233 MHz (Pentium 300Mhz Recommended).
