Skype XP is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Omar Ragab and Ali Maher. It released on September 27, 2013, and was added to the archive on December 12, 2021. The bootleg is a fork of Android XP, which was released before this one.
Description
The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO with DriverPack integrated, which adds new programs and themes. It has a new autorun which allows you to install additional drivers and software. Despite the bootleg being named Skype XP, this bootleg doesn't even have Skype!
It is unattended and preactivated. The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.9.1, and the autorun was made using AutoPlay Media Studio.
