Windows XP SP3 Ultimate is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by an unknown author. It released on December 14, 2011, and was added to the archive on December 1, 2022.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO, with Windows XP Media Center 2005 features integrated. It comes with some programs and themes.

On the first boot of the OS, 3 programs will get dropped to the C: drive under a folder called "install". A batch script will then install everything with silent parameters passed to it, then it will clean up a lot of the All Users' Start Menu some, and delete the included programs' program groups and 2 Control Panel applets pertaining to Windows Update, and finally disable the Tablet PC Input Panel's on-screen keyboard.

It is unattended and preactivated. The bootleg was made using nLite 1.4.9.1.
