Windows XP Ruby 2040 is a Windows XP SP3 based distribution created as part of the XP Ruby series, by Lander X. It released on May 8, 2015.

Unfortunately, the other editions of this bootleg are paid and probably lost, because Lander X discontinues and deletes old versions of his bootlegs from his servers after some period of time.

Description

The OS is a slightly altered Windows XP SP3 ISO, but remains mostly stock. It comes with the Zune and Royale themes added along with some apps and branding. It also comes with its own autorun.

Through the autorun, you can install extra apps bundled with the disc, plus some information about the author and acknowledgements.

Changes from Windows XP SP3

Minor changes

Most steps on the text-based setup are skipped, starting right on the partitioning screen.

Changes in pre-desktop procedures

Graphic setup stage uses the Windows 2000 installer.
OOBE is completely skipped, you log in as the Administrator account.

Look and feel

Royale is set as the default theme.
Default user tiles are replaced with Windows 7 ones.

Bootleg quirks

PowerDJ setup opens WinZip setup instead
AVG setup doesn't work because it claims the installer is too old (set your date to 2015 to fix)
Nero installer doesn't work because the demo key is expired (set your date to 2015 to fix)
There's a shortcut on the desktop called "Selección del explorador" (Browser selection) which is supposed to help the user to install a new web browser. Clicking "Aceptar" redirects to https://www.microsoft.com/es-es/BrowserChoice/ (this website is not avaliable anymore).
Explorer is set to use the classic folders by default (can be restored to show the sidebar with common tasks).
Control Panel uses the classic view (category view cannot be re-enabled).
Control Panel also has extra items and shortcuts to, in example, Registry Editor.
Suggested default PC name is WINXP2012.
