Does anyone know the minimum distribution of Windows XP with a working Internet?

Question

Windows

Good day! Can anyone recommend the smallest windows xp distribution to run on a virtualbox virtual machine? It is necessary to run the maximum number of copies on the PC, so Windows should consume as little RAM as possible. All that is required of him is a working Internet and a framework that is not cut out, or with the possibility of installing it.

Maybe someone knows such an assembly, advise, I will be immensely grateful to you.

virtualbox can "combine" memory pages of several virtual machines duplicated in the guest (dedupe). when writing to them, the CoW mechanism is triggered.

with a bunch of identical virtualboxes, it will greatly reduce the consumed memory, but a possible source of additional jambs will appear.
