Windows XP Game Edition 2010 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition created by VXK SOFT, released in 2010 and added to the archive on January 3rd, 2023.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO which styles the OS with a Windows Vista theme and includes some updates and drivers. The bootleg is very barebones and in fact strips a lot of things out, including things such as unnecessary services and programs. 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.

Changes from Windows XP SP3

New setup background, which features the Windows logos on a grassy field
New Vista-like boot screen, with the progress bar recolored to orange
New login screen, with Aurora background and a glass Windows XP logo
New desktop wallpaper
New Vista theme
New Vista sound scheme
New Aero cursor scheme
All of the user profile pictures have been replaced with ones from Vista
The My Computer icon is changed to a iMac icon

Software

Adobe Flash Player 10

Customization Utilities

VistaDriveIcon

Drivers

Mass Storage Drivers

Updates

Windows Media Player 11 (in Russian)
Internet Explorer 7
Root Certificate Updates 2010
Microsoft XML 4.0
DirectX June 2010

Notes

The Vista theme included in the bootleg is notable for having a pixel-accurate taskbar, which is rare to see in other bootlegs with bundled Vista themes. Very impressive for such an old theme, as the msstyles file is dated November 2006.
