Skype XP is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Omar Ragab and Ali Maher. It released on September 27, 2013, and was added to the archive on December 12, 2021. The bootleg is a fork of Android XP, which was released before this one.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO with DriverPack integrated, which adds new programs and themes. Despite the bootleg being named Skype XP, this bootleg doesn't even have Skype!

It comes with its own autorun. Through it, you can install the bootleg, install additional drivers (using a modified version of EasyDrv borrowed from Windows Life XP 2013, which has been rebranded to "Skype Xp Drv By Omar Ragab"), install additional programs and exit the autorun.

It is unattended and preactivated. The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.9.1, and the autorun was made using AutoPlay Media Studio.
