Windows XP Ruby 2040 is a Windows XP SP3 based distribution created as part of the XP Ruby series, by Lander X. It released on May 8, 2015.

Unfortunately, the other editions of this bootleg are paid and probably lost, because Lander X discontinues and deletes old versions of his bootlegs from his servers after some period of time.

Description

The OS is a slightly altered Windows XP SP3 ISO, but remains mostly stock. It comes with the Zune and Royale themes added along with some apps and branding. It also comes with its own autorun.

Through the autorun, you can install extra apps bundled with the disc, plus some information about the author and acknowledgements.
