== Description ==
The OS is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO, with DriverPack version 12.09, OnePiece IE8 Update Pack 7.4.0 and WindowsXP Post-SP3 Update Pack (QFE) 20131112 integrated. The OS has been almost entirely themed after [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows 3.x|Windows 3.1]] (and some of [{{link|url=https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Windows_NT_3.1 |name=Windows NT 3.1]}}). The name comes from the year Windows 3.1 was released (in 1992) and [[:Category:Bootlegs based on Windows 2000|Windows 2000]].
 
The OS now launches an (empty) Program Manager from Windows NT 3.51, and applies a Windows 3.1-like theme to the OS. It also adds a few popular games from the Windows 3.1 era.
