Windows Galaxy XP 2013 is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by Mohamed Kamel. It released in July 2013, and was added to the archive on August 5, 2022. The author has made another bootleg before this one, called Windows XP Crazy Mouse. It is the precursor to this bootleg, but this bootleg is not a direct fork of it. This bootleg shares assets from it, though.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO, with DriverPack integrated.

It comes with both a custom boot selector which lets you choose to either install the OS, or boot an extremely primitive version of Hiren's Boot CD, and a custom autorun which lets you either launch a driver installer, or the WPI.

It has over 50 themes, nearly 50 wallpapers, 7 new screensavers, many customization utilities and several programs for you to use, which is on a WPI which you can access either on the first boot, or from the CD itself, along with a specialized software collection filled with useful tools. It is unattended, thanks to Windows Unattended CD Creator being used, and preactivated.

Many parts of the OS has been modified with a completely new look and the setup is almost entirely replaced with a Windows 7-style progress bar along with many previews of the bootleg's various themes and detailed descriptions in Arabic of the bootleg's quirks and features.

What makes this bootleg unique from others is its first boot routine - it allows you to configure your OS in terms of theming by giving you several choices to choose from, such as Ubuntu, Windows 7, Windows Vista and many more which will provide you with the respective look and feel to complete the experience. When you select an option from the list it gives you, you will be shown a preview of what the theme looks like along with some screenshots of the operating environment demonstrating programs and various other areas of the OS to showcase what the aforementioned theme might look like. Once you proceed from there, you will be taken to another selection screen, in it you will be able to choose if you want to install additional drivers or even additional software from the WPI.

The ISO was made using Windows Unattended CD Creator 0.9.8.
