    Crazy germans :) Amusing to see that xp actually runs on 1995-96 era hardware.

    you could use the windows 3.0 CGA driver on windows 3.11 ( 640KB/8MHz) but never could get it to work on Win 95 :(
    It is still possible to use the Program Manager in Windows XP Service Pack 2 by replacing the progman.exe executable with the executable from Service Pack 1 (or the operating system's original release). With the SP1 CD, one can expand it by typing expand -r D:\i386\progman.ex_ C:\Windows at the command prompt (replacing D: with the CD-ROM drive letter). It is also possible to bypass the Windows system file protection and overwrite the SP2 version of Program Manager completely.

    and then there is the trick of killing off the running serivces so you only have four processes left
