Windows XP Diamond 2010 (otherwise known as just Windows Diamond 2010) is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Tran Quoc Hoang and Nguyen Thi Hanh. It released to itvinasoft.com, a Vietnamese forum, on June 15, 2009, and was added to the archive on December 13, 2022.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO, or rather many variations of the same ISO which you can access through a custom boot selector which is provided with the CD itself. It has DriverPacks version 901r3 integrated. It is mostly focused on looks, particularly that of Aero elements, but if you choose the "Plus" variant, there are many programs included. You can also make the installation unattended if you want to.

Upon booting the CD, you will get a splash screen which will persist until a key is pressed, then it will take you to a selection screen which presents you with multiple choices which has you choose what Windows variant you want to install, along with 2 bootable disk images containing Partition Magic 8.0 and Norton Ghost 2003 respectively.

There are many updates bundled with the OS as seen in its README file, titled "HUONGDAN.TXT", which is accessible through either looking in the CD root or opening the file through the boot selector.

The ISO was made using nLite, the autorun was made with Longtion AutoRun Pro Enterprise, and the boot selector used was CDShell 2.1.
