Windows XP Nebula is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Nebula. It released on July 12, 2010, and was added to the archive on December 31, 2023.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO.

A manual installation procedure is at play - it comes with a whole bunch of programs, which you have to install yourself. There are also 5 wallpapers and Vista Inspirat 2. You are told to optimize the system with nCleaner. Interestingly, you first have to restore a copy of system settings created from the Files and Settings Transfer Wizard, with said tool.

It comes with plenty of updates integrated. It is unattended and preactivated.
