Bootleg of the Month

Windows XP Fenix Team Edition

Windows XP Fenix Team Edition is a bootleg Windows XP SP2 edition, which was created by THEOS DOOM of Fenix Team. It was released on April 1, 2006, and was added to the archive on August 13, 2024.

The bootleg is a stripped down Windows XP SP2 ISO. It adds a new default theme and wallpaper, as well as some new programs and a new cursor set.

On first boot, it updates the boot screen, along with applying new graphics from XPize. It also updates the login screen, applies registry tweaks, and patches Windows Updates.
