The earliest releases date back to [https://web.archive.org/web/20071026093017/http://picoxp.boot-land.net/ October 26, 2007] and was added to the archive on November 23, 2022. It is an extremely minimal CD, only taking up about 15 MB. To be more specific, PicoXP is a WinBuilder project that can be used to generate minimal Windows XP live CDs. == Description ==▼ ~~'''PicoXP''' is a bootleg live Windows XP CD by pscEx. It is an extremely minimal CD (only taking up about 15 MB) making it the smallest bootleg in the XP category.~~ ItThe bootleg is ~~basically~~similar ~~WinPE~~to Windows PE, but with everything removed. ~~And~~(and Iwe do mean '''''everything'''''). To the point where ''window titles'' don't even display properly because there ~~isn~~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., and pretty much all but the most simple programs will error out due to missing DLLs or API calls.▼ The mod is intended to be the successor/replacement of [https://reboot.pro/index.php?s=3eba5934a6a9c28e93a3ab67c6cf6aaa&showtopic=12 NanoXP], although the build sizes seem to be around the same. ▲==Description== ▲It is basically WinPE, but with everything removed.

Because so many features have been stripped from the OS, only absolute core programs such as cmd, winlogon, and ntoskrnl will actually run. The ISO was built using WinBuilder 0.82, a Windows boot disk builder. ==Changes from Windows XP==▼ The removal of practically every last feature and program except for cmd, winlogon, and ntoskrnl, making it basically unusable.▼ ▲== 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 \| Command Prompt </gallery> == See also == * [[LiteXP]] * [[TinyKRNL]] [[Category:Bootlegs originating from Europe]] [[Category:Bootlegs based on Windows XP]] [[Category:Bootlegs]]
