==Running on CollabVM==
Windows XP works great as a VM for CollabVM. A few programs do not work on it but thanks to its still large popularity this usually isn't a big problem. VM 2 on the official CollabVM website runs Windows XP with Service Pack 3 installedand Windows 2000. Both Home and Professional are known to work perfectly fine in QEMU and CollabVM.
 
'''Recommended version''': Windows XP Professional with Service Pack 3
Or if running without root or virtualization:
<pre>qemu-system-i386 -hda winxp.img -boot c -cpu qemu64 -m 512 -vga cirrus -net nic,model=rtl8139 -net user -usbdevice tablet -localtime</pre>
 
====Setting up your VM====
 
After going through the OOBE, it is recommended to go through gpedit.msc and manage some policies. If you have an AD (Active Directory) server, you can hook up your VM to that and manage policies there. If you want, you can also "debloat" the OS making it run slightly faster, though, versions earlier than 8.1 are not as bad.
