Windows FLP - A Secret Windows XP Built to Keep Old PCs Alive

You've seen this thin client before — a PC-based device from German manufacturer IGEL Technology. Last time, I managed to get Windows XP Embedded running on it. But today, I’m diving into something a little different: Windows Fundamentals for Legacy PCs (FLP), Microsoft’s 2006 answer to aging business hardware that couldn't handle Windows XP or Vista. Join me as I wrestle with obscure VIA drivers, try (and fail) to create a working file, and attempt to get FLP running on an old thin client... before giving up and pulling out a trusty Asus EeePC 701 from 2007. Spoiler: it works much better! Along the way, we talk about: • What FLP is and how it spun off from XP Embedded • Why it was created and who it was for • Some driver debugging pitfalls and setup quirks • How to patch FLP with Service Pack 3 (yes, it’s a special version!) • Modern web browsing in 2025 (kind of...) 🎉 Special Thanks for Today Goes To 🎉 💾 Alisha Manuela Stutz @alishamanuelastutz Your passionate support for retro tech keeps this journey going.
