Windows XP Game Edition 2010 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition created by VXK SOFT, which released in 2010 and was added to the archive on January 3rd, 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 some 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. Yes, more so than AltasOS! But unlike AtlasOS, it does not remove System Restore or the firewall just to achieve its purpose.

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 on Windows Vista SP1.

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

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.
