Description
As the name suggests, this bootleg is an attempt to get a slim version of Windows XP down to 75 MB, which is rather impressive for a SP2 build. As a result, practically everything has been removed, leaving only the essentials for running the OS. It is unattended and preactivated.
By default, the system creates and logs into a user named "Doni".
The bootleg was made using nLite 1.4.8.
