    Default Running Windows on Original Xbox?

    Hey Guys, I'm back on Epforums again!,
    I'm just wondering what would be the most stable version of windows to use on the original xbox and whether installing it on the xbox would delete my existing games and saves? If this is true, is there a workaround?

    Thanks Guys.

    lol someone actually bothered but how slow is XP though, not really usable and certainly not for actually playing PC games via, but still kinda interesting

    The Xbox although by Microsoft it's not really a PC though the hardware is based on PC hardware and has no native support for any version of Windows or any PC software

    DOS games however can be played via DosBox, maybe even Windows 95/98 or an older versioon of Windows like 3.11, hey might run faster than XP via Linux chances are it will still be too slow to be of any real use though

    There are plenty of nice skins though for various dashboards though and linux itself does not run too badly that can have a windows type look to it but it is still not really windows

    Linux is not windows at all but you can run various windows only programs via Wine just fine, its really fun to tinker.

    I'm sure Shadow989 may find it interesting if he is just wanting to experiment.

    Thanks for the replies guys! I actually used to have a windows 3.1 computer and it was cool, hahha. I am interested in the idea of having windows 98 on the original xbox or windows 3.1 if possible as windows xp would be quite slow. I don't know why but I'm quite interested in the xbox hardware for some reason so yeah. Thanks
