PicoXP is a bootleg live Windows XP CD by pscEx. It is an extremely minimal CD (only taking up about 15 MB) making it the smallest bootleg in the XP category.
Description
It is basically WinPE, but with everything removed. And I do mean everything. To the point where window titles don't even display properly because there isn't any fonts. Because so many features have been stripped from the OS, only absolute core programs such as cmd, winlogon, and ntoskrnl will actually run.
Changes from Windows XP
- The removal of practically every last feature and program except for cmd, winlogon, and ntoskrnl, making it basically unusable.
