Blanco XP is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Mr.NabiL. It released on July 3, 2010, and was added to the archive on December 21, 2022.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO which comes packed with a lot of software and a few themes. The bootleg is a mixture of English and French. It comes with its own autorun.

The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.6, and the autorun was made with Advanced CD Launcher 1.2 (which is particularly rare, as you don't see it much outside of Russian bootlegs).
