Gold Windows XP 2016 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created as part of the Gold Windows XP series by Muhammed Sadeem of Computer Worm Corporation. It released on August 29, 2015, and was added to the archive on August 6, 2022.
It is one of the most famous Windows XP bootlegs, and was featured on many YouTube channels and other places, and is widely known around the world. The default theme in the bootleg is infamous for being painful to look at with its strange colors and weird-looking window buttons, which contributed to its popularity, along with the loud music that the WPI has and many of its other quirks, which cemented this bootleg as a classic example of a typical over-the-top Windows bootleg.
As it turns out, this bootleg is actually part of a series, dating back to 2009.
Description
The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO, which includes many programs, games, wallpapers, updates and tweaks. It is heavily gold-themed, but it has many other themes.
It comes with its own autorun, and a WPI.
On the first boot of the OS, a runonce segment ripped from Windows XP Black Edition will run.
It is unattended and preactivated. The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.9.3, and the DLLs were edited with an unregistered copy of Resource Tuner 2.

Notes

You also to have the CD inserted in physically, or via a virtual CD drive. - Adobe Flash Player 18's repacked installer has a restriction on it, that will not let you install it anywhere else except Gold Windows XP 2016.
- The WPI plays a song called "O Allah the Almighty Allahu Allah" during installation. It has been turned up really loud.
