I think it's the SATA, AHCI and all the other drivers they patched in in. Original XP ISO needed a floppy with drivers too boot SATA AHCI.

Watercolor was soooooo good with those pastel colors.
Kinda wish I could set up Win10 like that.

These unofficial patches are cool, but I can't bring myself to install anything that doesn't have a public confirmed good sha256 sum.
Probably just paranoia, but the WinXP era of computing was so malware heavy...

If you really care about your security and private info you wouldn't be daily driving a Windows XP system connected to the internet in the first place.
This is great for retro computing on old PCs and tinkering projects, not to do your banking on or run your old factory equipment.

Maybe you are confusing things a bit. Windows XP, unlike 10 or 11 does not phone home. And from a purely security perspective they are mostly equal. (on XP you had worms, on 10 and 11 you have ransomware). The difference might be that with XP you can still recover your data.

I think you are the one who confused things. I didn't mean not to use Windows XP because Windows XP will phone home, but because that edition of Windows XP comes form an unknow source which might be loaded with malware that might phone home, and plus it's an 20 year old OS so you neve know what security holes it still has which become vulnerable once connected to the internet.
I repeat, this is not made for daily driving and putting valuable data on it. It's great for tinkering on VMs and old PCs.

Actually I think you’ll find that old factory equipment runs on versions far worse than this…
I have most of Adobe CS6 installed along with Office 2010, the final releases of both packages that ran on XP. I realised to my horror, these are also the then-current versions that I used whilst I was at university. I wrote my dissertation in Word 2010 and some of the graphics were made in Fireworks CS6.
This was the only XP ISO I found that easily booted on the device too. I'm not sure what was added to it, but the final retail ISOs wouldn't boot into setup. I think I have the OEM CD somewhere, but I don't have any optical devices that can read it.
If the battery held charge better, I could see myself bringing it to conferences. Despite what Jobs said, I love netbooks and can type reasonably well on them.
It stands in stark contrast with my old iPad 2, which is more or less marooned on iOS 9. It can't be downgraded, and even if it could be, finding IPAs from the era is a nightmare.
