Windows XP Prehistórico 2015 is a Windows XP SP3 based distribution created as part of the XP Prehistórico series, by Lander X. It released on some point of January 2014.

Unfortunately, the other editions of this bootleg are paid and currently considered lost, considering that LanderX deletes old versions of his bootlegs from his PC/servers after some period of time.

Description

The OS is a slightly altered Windows XP SP3 ISO, but remains mostly stock. It comes with the Zune and Royale themes added along with branding. It also comes with its own autorun.

Through the autorun, you can not really access much, except to know a bit about the author and some aknowledgements.

Changes from Windows XP SP3:

  • Skips most steps on the text-based setup, you start right on the partitioning screen
  • Graphic setup stage uses the Windows 2000 installer
  • Suggested default PC name is LANDERX001
  • OOBE is completely skipped, you log in as the Administrator account
  • Royale is set as the default theme
  • There's a shortcut on the desktop called "Selección del explorador" (Browser selection) which is supposed to help the user to install a new web browser. Clicking "Aceptar" redirects to https://www.microsoft.com/es-es/BrowserChoice/ (not avaliable anymore)
  • Explorer is missing the left pane (can be re-enabled)
  • Control panel uses the classic view by default (Category view cannot be re-enabled)
  • Control panel also has extra items and shortcuts to, in example, Registry Editor
  • Slightly modified Control Panel iitems
  • Icons are set to large by default

Software

  • Adobe Flash (supposedly)

Updates

  • Internet Explorer 8
  • Windows Media Player 11
  • .NET Framework 3.51 SP1

Notes

  • On the box art it claims that can be installed on a Pentium II with 128 MB of RAM.
  • It supposedly comes with Adobe Flash, yet it's nowhere to be seen.
  • According to the box art this bootleg has 71k drivers slipstreamed on it
