    Possibly. There is an embedded version of XP that’s meant to be run on kiosks, control panels, thin clients, and such. Its support was finally ended in 2016, but I’m sure there are still machines around someplace still working that have it baked-in. Probably in ROM in some cases.

      in the early 00s there were a few companies that made building services panels based on embedded XP kiosk partitions, things like HVAC and lighting.

      It has been my genuine hellish curse to have to work on two of them.
