Because the source code for Windows XP is not publicly available, and thus only Microsoft can make the changes necessary to make it work. Microsoft has not deemed this worthwhile, for many reasons, and thus will not make a version that will run.

Will installing Yellow Dog Linux allow for Windows-based games to be played on my PS3 system?
No. Linux does not natively support running Windows programs. When Linux is run on a typical desktop computer, it is possible to run about 80% of Windows programs using a compatibility layer known as "Wine." PS3 systems have totally different processors from PCs. Wine does not emulate a processor, only function calls, so it cannot be used to run Windows programs, including games, on a PS3. However, many Linux games that one could play on a desktop can also be played on the PS3.
How do you install CCProxy on Red Hat Enterprise Linux 5?
CCProxy is a Windows application. It does not run natively on Linux and would be unsuitable for a production environment.
How can you run a super Nintendo emulator on PS3 without Linux?
no u need Linux
Can you drive Linux to Chromebook?
Short answer, no. You can run a few versions of Linux as chroot environments on a Chromebook, but you cannot erase the ChromeOS system and install Linux natively.
Will Visual Basic programs work in Linux?
Windows programs, including those written in Visual Basic, do not run natively on Linux. Most Visual Basic programs should be usable if Wine is installed.
How can you run a Super Nintendo emulator on a PlayStation 3 without Linux?
You cannot that I know of. For one thing, the ps3 operating system is not an open operating system that allows its user to install random software like windows or linux does. For another thing, running software made for windows (or any x86 system, which is what most game emulators are programmed for) requires an x86 emulator to run on the cell processor of the PS3. So you would need to use an x86 emulator (like qemu) on linux and from there run the gaming emulator. I believe there are some super nintendo emulators that will run on linux on the PS3 without qemu, for example, snes9x. But no, you cannot simply run an emulator from the ps3 without linux. The Ps3 operating system will not run executable files like windows does.
Where can one go to learn how to run Linux on a PS3?
Probably the best place is to go onto Linux itself. There, people can ask questions about this topic, or they can post the question onto Sony's FAQs. Both places have a high chance of finding how to install Linux onto the PS3.
Can you download Unity Web Player on Ubuntu?
Unity Web Player is not developed for Linux and cannot be run natively. It is possible to use it by installing a Windows version of a web browser (such as Firefox) using Wine.
Is it possible to install coreldraw on Linux?
Some versions of CorelDRAW can be run on Linux using Wine, while others can't.
Will android operating system run on normal PC?
Sort of. "Normal PCs" run IBM-Compatible (i.e. x86 machine code), while Android runs on a ARM (i.e. RISC machine code). You can not run RISC on x86 natively, as they are not compatible with each other. However, there is an "Android Simulator" that is used primarily by developers that will allow you to simulate Android within Windows or Linux.
Do .NET applications run on Linux?
Yes and no. Linux will not run Windows applications by itself, however, there are ample tools written for Linux that permit you to run Windows applications on Linux. The open-source WINE software will run a majority of Windows software on Linux. You can even configure Linux to automatically recognize Windows applications and use WINE to run them. Alternatively, there's a wide variety of virtual machine products that permit you to run the Windows operating system as an application under Linux, and, in turn, any Windows applications inside the Windows virtual environment. Finally, some "Windows applications" are written in .Net or Java and can be run directly under Linux using mono and java respectively (albeit, some .Net applications will not yet run under mono).
Can you add Linux operating system while running Windows XP?
you can run it with virtualbox
