BartPE would be a good thing to use to create a stripped down Windows to use
just for emulation.
We use it for embedded systems at work and I have a copy that boots from a
USB Thumb Drive for imaging the touchscreens that use the embedded version
of Windows.

It is great for making boot cd's to scan for viruses etc...

There is a form of WinXP called "Embedded XP". It allows you to create
a WinXP with application program that only has those elements need to
run. Used in a lot of Point-of-Sale Terminals. Could be used to make a
COCO3 emulator that will boot direct into the emulator.
