Aquest document presenta una exposició tècnica i pràctica sobre PCjs amb Windows XP. Inclou descripcions arquitectòniques, compatibilitats, limitacions, procediments pràctics per a ús, desplegament i depuració, i recomanacions de seguretat. Suposo com a preset que l'objectiu és executar o emular Windows XP dins l'entorn PCjs (emulador JavaScript per x86) per a investigació, conservació digital o desenvolupament legacy; si teniu un objectiu diferent, indiqueu-ho i adaptaré el contingut.

Despite the speed penalty, there are scenarios where no other solution works as elegantly:
