Not to be confused with Windows XP Ultimate Edition VALR.

Windows XP Ultimate Edition is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Johnny. It released on March 30, 2008, and was added to the archive on September 11, 2022.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. The goal of this bootleg is to take the best elements from various different editions of Windows, such as Windows XP (the base for this mod, obviously), Windows XP Media Center Edition (the looks, and the enhancements), Windows Vista (the looks, and the software) and even Mac OS and Linux (only the looks for both of them), and combines them together to make "Windows XP Ultimate Edition".

It comes with some programs and themes. It comes with a decent amount of wallpapers, along with "DreamScene" wallpapers (really just HTM files linking to SWF files). It is preactivated.

  • The Plus! themes won't load properly due to their theme files having invalid icon entries, in that they only have a "My Computer" entry and don't have the other entries. Without them, the theme won't work.

CD contents and other info

  • The autorun plays music.
  • You can find DVD covers in Nero CoverDesigner format in the covers folder on the CD root.
