Windows XP finally works on 486 processors!
Somebody on MSFN managed to modify Windows XP and remove the code for CMPXCHG8B (the instruction that otherwise prevents XP from working on the 486). It took 23 years, but we finally have Windows XP working on i486 processors! This is more of a novelty, and I would not recommend it for general usage. However, it makes a fun experiment.

ntoskrnl.exe from the ISO must be copied to C:\Windows\System32 in order for the install to work.
