Windows XP SP2 Performance 2008 is a bootleg Windows XP SP2 edition, which was created by Ninja Spy. It released on March 2, 2008, and was added to the archive on April 6, 2024.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP2 ISO, with RyanVM's Windows XP Post-SP2 Update Pack version 2.2.1 and DirectX 9.0c November 2007 AddOn 0.3.4 integrated. It also comes with NVIDIA and Realtek HDA drivers integrated. It comes with many themes, and a WPI which gets dropped to the C drive. You have to manually run the WPI, it does not get run automatically. A good many things have been stripped out from the OS.

It is preactivated. The bootleg was made using nLite 1.4.1 on Windows XP SP2.

Bootleg quirks

During text-mode setup, winntbbu.dll will fail to copy over properly. Skip it, it will proceed just fine.
There is supposed to be OEM branding and Support Information, but it does not copy over to the right directory. It is supposed to copy to System32, but it attempts to copy to "$System32$" in the WINDOWS directory, which is not recognized by Windows and therefore is incorrect. So the OEM branding will never show up.
There is a MP3 file sitting where the WPI programs are. It is used as the WPI music.
