Windows XP Game Edition 2010 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by VXK SOFT. It released in 2010, and was added to the archive on January 3, 2023.
Description
The bootleg is a stripped down Windows XP SP3 ISO with DriverPack integrated. It styles the OS with a Windows Vista theme and includes many updates.
The bootleg mostly aims towards gamers who are looking for the best possible performance, therefore this bootleg strips a lot of things out, and tries its best to optimize the system as much as possible. In an ironic twist, it even removes the standard games despite it being titled "Game Edition"!
It is unattended and preactivated.
The bootleg was made using nLite 1.4.9.1.
