Hi Ari. Being that XP is unsupported, it's safe to just get one preconfigured from a safe source. Technically an xp installation can be done, but if you aren't comfortable with unattended answer file creation or don't have a floppy drive or means of creating a virtual floppy, it's probably not gonna work real well, plus the lack of sound during installation is a bit unnerving. On top of that, I've heard talking windows preinstallation doesn't do too well with XP disks, but don't quote me on that. Xp machines are around that come preloaded with a fair few screenreaders to suit your taste, and some old versions of Hal 5.1 and Window Eyes 6.0 if you want to relive some nostalgia. Here you go, self extracting executable of the windows xp virtual machine. http://grossgang.com/vmware/Windows%20XP.exe
