Windows Ice XP v3 Ultimate Edition is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Greifi Grishnackh. It released on April 28, 2008, and was added to the archive on October 1, 2025.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. Like the successor, it comes with many programs and tweaks which install through a WPI, themes, wallpapers and updates. It comes with registry tweaks.

The only difference between this version and it's successor, this one comes with 1 theme and wallpaper, which are set by default, it also comes with 10 DriverPacks 8.05 integrated ones, so that's why the ISO size is larger than the successor as it has 1 GB size, some softwares' versions are older than the successor (which it's softwares are updated).

It is unattended and preactivated. The bootleg was made using nLite and Windows Unattended CD Creator 0.9.8, and the autorun was made with Power AutoPlay Menu Creator 6.03.
