Windows XP Super Star 6 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Mohamed Dwam. It releaseed on July 1, 2013, and was added to the archive on February 5, 2023.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO, which comes with a boot selector integrated. The thing about this bootleg is, that it's a clone of Windows XP Fannan NewLook 6. You see, the author has replaced all the mentions of the original author's name with their own. Plus, the author also changed all the UI assets to try to look as little like the bootleg it's based on as possible.

Most of the OS setup procedure remains identical to XP Fannan NewLook 6. The only new things the boot selector offers is the "Smart Menu" (a stripped down, English version of the installer selection screen), PartitionMagic 8.0 build 1242, and Hiren's Boot CD. A rebranded version of it, an ancient version of it no less! (MasterMIND Always). The Ghost version used here is different, though. (Norton Ghost 2003 (cracked, registered to lk of bap))

The bootleg actually does have some original content of its own to offer, albeit only in small quantities. Unlike Windows XP Fannan NewLook, it comes with its own autorun and it doesn't have any duplicate themes. (Only repeated themes with slight variations, different enough to be considered non-duplicate, but that's just a byproduct of having mostly 51ztzj and dzArt themes and nothing else)

Honestly, there's nothing this one can really do that Windows XP Fannan NewLook 6 doesn't. You wanna know the level of similarity of this bootleg to Fannan? The number between the titles are exactly the same!

It is unattended and preactivated. The ISO was made using nLite and Windows Unattended CD Creator 0.9.8, the boot selector used was Aero Studio 2007 2.01, and the autorun was made with AutoPlay Media Studio 7.0.
