Just for those who wish to run Vista/W2k8 x86 on modern hardware.

I could try this but for now I don't see much of a reason to.

That being said, there are instances where this is ideal, especially if you have something like a basic Haswell system and you want to multiboot Vista with other operating systems. It should work quite well as the 32-bit version of Vista doesn't have the same bugs that the 64-bit version does on newer hardware.

PAE patching is also a possibility but the methods do change for every new kernel update released. Vista is technically still being patched to this day through Server 2008's grandfathered ESU program.

Let me know if you all are interested in seeing me test 04/2025 patched Vista x86-32 on Haswell and maybe Ryzen 5000. ^^
