Windows XP 75MB Edition is a bootleg build of Windows XP SP2, which was created by Daniel M. Bulow. It released on August 31, 2008 and added to the archive on December 9, 2021.

Description

As the name suggests, this bootleg is an attempt to get a slim version of Windows XP down to 75 MB, which is rather impressive for a SP2 build. As a result, practically everything has been removed, leaving only the essentials for running the OS. It is unattended and preactivated.

By default, the system creates and logs into a user named "Doni".

The bootleg was made using nLite 1.4.8.
