Windows Light XP 2008 is a Windows XP SP2 distribution created as part of the Light XP series, by Captain Majid of Mz-Files. It released on March 7, 2008, and was added to the archive on December 9, 2021.

Description

The bootleg is a stripped down Windows XP SP2 ISO with RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack 2.2.1 and NR's Internet Explorer 7 English Addon Pack v1.0.9a (based on IE7 Installer 7.0.5730.13) integrated. It comes with its own boot selector, which comes with several utilities, most of them being in DOS, and of course the actual bootleg itself. It has had some programs, games, themes, wallpapers and updates added.

The ISO was made using nLite.

Changes from Windows XP SP2

Minor changes

• OEM branding is included

Changes in pre-desktop procedures

• New setup background
• New boot screen, with a semi-transparent shadow added to the Windows XP text. The kernel filename is listed as "ntkrnlpa.exe" by default. This is due to Light XP's feature of allowing you to select different kernels.
• New login background, and text

Look and feel

• New default theme, and wallpaper
• 4 new themes included
• 2 new screensavers included
• New icon set
• New sound scheme. The sound scheme is a mix of Windows XP, the Samsung theme for Windows XP and the Plus! 98 "World Traveller" theme. The "Move Menu Item" event is assigned to a sound effect of a car driving by. The "Select" event is assigned to the Windows 98 "Navigation Start" sound. The "Question" event is assigned to a knocking sound effect.
