that's idd a bigger solution than needed
but... they don't have to be the requirements.. firstly, use php. You download XAMPP, a distro of all things you need to have a nice server including a webserver with php, mysql, email, ftp, lots of plug-ins for apache.. you won't need all those framework things and you don't need windows xp, you can also use linux.
About the screenresolution? what does it matter whether you have 800x600 or 1024x768
, and you can also use firefox instead of internet explorer.
A python program is idd handier to use, but a server is handier, since you can save all your information on it
