It released on March 23rd, 2013, and was added to the archive on November 23rd, 2022. It is an extremely minimal CD (only taking up about 15 MB). == Description == The bootleg is ~~basically~~similar ~~WinPE~~to Windows PE, but with everything removed (and we do mean '''everything'''). To the point where window titles don't even display properly because there aren't any fonts! Because so many features have been stripped from the OS, only absolute core programs such as cmd, winlogon, and ntoskrnl will actually run, asand ~~they~~pretty ~~are~~much all but the ~~only~~most simple programs ~~left~~will onerror ~~the~~out ~~system~~due asto ~~everything~~missing ~~else~~DLLs ~~has~~or ~~been~~API ~~removed~~calls. The mod is intended to be the successor/replacement of [https://reboot.pro/index.php?s=3eba5934a6a9c28e93a3ab67c6cf6aaa&showtopic=12 NanoXP], ~~though~~although the build sizes seem to be around the same. The ISO was built using WinBuilder 0.82, a Windows boot disk builder. == Changes from Windows XP SP2 == * The removal of practically every last feature and program except for cmd, winlogon, and ntoskrnl, making it basically unusable. * Fonts appear to be completely eradicated, resulting in elusive hieroglyphics in window titles (and potentially programs, if there's even a chance of getting one that isn't cmd, ntoskrnl, or winlogon working) == Notes == === The punchline === * This build of PicoXP is not the original release and is actually a user build from January 13, 2020. The username in the <code>PROJECTINFO.INI</code> file is, verbatim, <code>CHINA NUMBER ONE</code>. Yes, seriously. Also it was built on Windows 7, almost forgot to mention. === CD contents and other info === * The CD label is set to "PicoXP". == Gallery == <gallery> PicoXP Desktop.png \| ~~The~~Command ~~desktop.
