CLIENTPRO 365 machines have been prevalent on eBay and many people do not know what to do with them as they are a proprietary mix-up.
Support and drivers are virtually non-existent, especially since MPC is no longer in operation.
But, Hail to the Linux Devs for cracking the hardware and giving a nice welcome OOTB experience. No Worries, it just works.
However, We cannot say that for the OS in which it was originally designed since you would need special drivers that do not come with XP.
