Description

Much like Windows 2007, it is designed as a visual mod to mimic Beta versions of XP. Most audio-visual aspects have been changed including replacing the themes and sound schemes. The autorun has been given a redesign.

Since this mod is based on RTM, it has numerous security vulnerabilities and is ill-advised to connect to the internet.

Changes from Windows XP RTM

Changes in pre-desktop procedures

  • Pre-installation environment, winver, logon UI, etc. have been changed to reflect the new branding
  • OOBE has been updated

Look and feel

  • New default wallpaper
  • 2 new themes, Watercolor and Luna; both are from different stages of the XP Beta
  • Beta icons added (i.e. the Recycle Bin, which now has handles)
  • New sound scheme, the producer is currently unknown.

Notes

Remarks

  • This ISO requires a Volume License product key which is not included in I386\UNATTEND.TXT, although any VOL key will work.
