Now, we'l install Windows XP in the virtual machine. This process takes about an hour so please wait :P
Now just click the green start button and launch off! Follow the instructions to install Windows XP. It'll take about 5 minutes to load drivers and then main installation will start. This is going to be fun installing and testing old applications.
FUN
