Windows XP Ultimate Edition SP3 Light is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by VARL. It released in May 2008, and was added to the archive on March 27, 2023.

Description

The bootleg is a stripped down Windows XP SP3 ISO, which styles the OS with a Windows Vista theme. It has one program and some updates bundled, along with some themes. It does an excellent job at making the OS smaller - the ISO size is 298 MB while the uncompressed installation size comes at 1.78 GB. It is unattended and preactivated.

The bootleg was made using nLite.
