Since having a few talks with members of our group about windows fundamentals for legacy pcs, which is a fancy name for a windows xp w/ sp2 made for embedded computers, I wandered on the web in search for something similar to it but that wasn't an IT dinossaur :) Much to my surprise there was close to nothing, but then I found a little thing called windows embedded standard 7 runtime, a windows 7 embedded, both x86 and x64 versions. It seems to have the same file size as the full fledged desktop counterparts, but not having those "true" recommended requirements of 4gb of ram.
If anyone wants to know a bit more about it, you can check it out at the product page: http://www.microsoft.com/windowsembedded/en-us/products/westandard/default.mspx -- 9xx SOLDIERS SANS FRONTIERS
