There is a version called TinyXP that strips out most everything from the
full version, including all of the apps (including IE) and theoretically
would have a much smaller attack surface than plain Windows. It's also tiny
and runs in a small VM nicely - when I ran it, it idled at 118 MB of RAM and
ran my BBS in a 512 MB VM nicely.
I don't know if it's still a valid option.
... What does this mean?
