Windows FD Deluxe (called "Microsoft Custom Windows XP 3.0" on the physical cover of this bootleg) is a bootleg build of Windows XP SP1a, which was created by an unknown author. It was released somewhere in February 2004, and was added to the archive on July 5, 2024.

Description

It is one of the earliest Windows XP SP1a bootlegs, along with Windows XP Gold 5.5 that it was released two months prior. It was designed to resemble early Longhorn builds from that period.

Apart from those, it is mostly stock.

It is unattended and preactivated.

Remarks

With this release version of Microsoft Windows XP Professional Custom Made Edition 3.0 is an evaluation of Microsoft Windwos XP Professional Corporate Edition with Service Pack 1A and all critical updates to 25/12/03. New windows desktop theme will apply after installation, so enjoy the cool look.

Due to the fact we had squeeze all this on CD you are unable to upgrade from a previous verion. In conclusion you must clean install it.

Bugs fixed since last release: No T-13 inetserv extraction pop-up, Outlook no longer has the "Identity Switch Cancelled" error. Install folders will delete automatically. This version supports VIARAID SATA drivers. Everything is cool
  • Despite the blurb on the back of the physical disc indicating that the bootleg contained updates up to December 2003, some updates from early 2004 are present, such as Q833407 (released February 2004), which edited out offensive symbols from the Bookshelf Symbol 7 font.

Bootleg quirks

  • The bootleg is inconsistently named - the bootscreen refers to itself as "Windows FD Professional", while the wallpaper refers to itself as "Windows FD Deluxe".
  • All files and directories on the disc are all set to December 31, 2002, except for few files and folders in the Office 2003 installer, which has date of February 13, 2004, indicating the disc's building date/period.

WINNT.SIF metadata

  • The full name is set to "comp".
  • The workgroup name is set to "WORKGROUP".
