Hi team,
My customer needs to download the OLE DB Provided for SQL Server for WinX and Win 2008 versions.
We understand that XP and Win 08 is out of support already. But just wondering if you may have any other inputs to help us please?
Many thanks!

The most recent that can install is SQL Server Native Client 11, but since it is out of date, it may not be available as such. It came with SQL 2012.
Then again, both these operating systems come with SQLOLEDB, which is the old OLE DB provider for SQL 2000. So unless you absolutely need features added in later versions, you can use this provider.
