If you want to go legal, buy PCBs. ;)
Mame is not legal at all.

Windows XP services that can be disabled.pdf (http://www.techrepublic.com/i/tr/downloads/home/windows_xp_services_that_can_be_disabled.pdf)

and Nlite: http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLite_and_vLite (http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/NLite_and_vLite)

By the way, If you modify your XP installation with "Nlite", you create in general something simular as Tiny xp.

as long as you have a official license for xp its allright i guess.
