Description

The OS is mostly stock Windows XP SP3, except it is now modeled after Windows 3.1 and Windows NT 3.1. The name comes from the year Windows 3.1 was released (in 1992) and Windows 2000. The OS now launches an (empty) Program Manager from Windows NT 3.51, and applies a Windows 3.1-like theme to the OS. It also adds a few popular games from Windows 3.1.

Other than those changes, not much has been changed from XP itself.

  • The boot screen has been changed to an edited version of the splash screen from Windows 3.1, with "3.1" replaced with "1992".
