I saw the article on Slashdot today. The modder had to modify some
system DDLs or something. Pretty insane.

"Well, start brushing off those vintage 486 rigs, because a modder has actually made it happen. Going by the name Dietmar on the MSFN forums,
he has somehow managed to get Microsoft's beloved Windows XP running on the ancient 486 architecture."

ISO for Windows XP Professional SP3 (English & German) (works on 486): https://archive.org/details/windowsxp486
"This is a Windows XP Professional SP3 ISO that has been modified to
work on i486 processors. There is a German ISO and English ISO
available. The CPU clock speed in Windows system properties is also incorrect, but programs like CPU-Z report the correct clock speed."
