Geek XP 4.0 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by 360alaska. It released on March 19, 2019, and was added to the archive on December 1, 2022.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO, with Windows XP Media Center 2005 features integrated. It comes with some programs and themes.

On the first boot of the OS, 3 programs will get dropped to the C: drive under a folder called "install". A batch script will then install everything with silent parameters passed to it, then it will clean up a lot of the All Users' Start Menu some, and delete the included programs' program groups and 2 Control Panel applets pertaining to Windows Update, and finally disable the Tablet PC Input Panel's on-screen keyboard.

It is unattended and preactivated. The bootleg was made using nLite 1.4.9.1.
