Can I install Windows XP on the XPi CD?
Yes, although it obviously won’t perform as snappily as it does under earlier Windows versions. Just make sure you update the BIOS to the latest version (see the BIOS section of this FAQ). Also, you may run into problems with your audio controller due to lack of system resources, in which case you’ll have to disable some unnecessary ports in the BIOS and Device Manager like the printer and serial ports, or the infrared and replicator ports.
