Developer runs Claude Code natively on Windows XP without SSH/RDP

A developer is porting Anthropic's Claude Code client to run natively on Windows XP, with login, chat, and web search already working. The client runs as a native Node process on XP and communicates directly with Anthropic's API, without offloading to SSH or RDP. Tool execution and UI remain buggy due to XP's lack of modern bash support.

A Reddit user posted a work-in-progress showing Claude Code running on Windows XP. The client is a native Node process that talks to Anthropic's API over the network, just like on any modern OS. Currently working features include login, chat, and web search. Not working: UI is extremely buggy, any tool that uses bash (which XP does not support), platform sign-in, and Azure/Bedrock sign-in. The developer plans to demonstrate on bare metal using a Dell GX280.
