Where can I find a .iso for Windows XP?

Question

I need to test a program on Windows XP, where can I find a .iso to put on a VM? Is there any way to get an iso similar to what microsoft hosts on Their Website, a free .iso that expires after 90 days for development use.

Solution

I may be wrong but I vaguely recall a so-called "Windows XP Mode for Windows 7", and what it actually was was an XP in a virtual machine - I don't recall the details, but here's a link where you should be able to download it:

https://www.microsoft.com/en-gb/download/details.aspx?id=8002

The description from MS
"

Windows XP Mode for Windows 7 makes it easy to install and run many of your productivity programs that run on Windows XP directly from a computer that runs Windows 7.

Windows XP Mode provides a 32-bit virtual Windows XP Professional Service Pack 3 (SP3) environment. This download includes a virtual hard disk (.vhd file) with Windows XP SP3 preinstalled. Client virtualization software, such as Windows Virtual PC is required to use Windows XP Mode.

"

This link mentions it too:

But the main thing is that microsoft.com link with the download.

@Arjan, there is no longer a relevant answer on that old thread.
