PicoXP is a bootleg live Windows XP CD by pscEx. It is an extremely minimal CD (only taking up about 15 MB).
Description
The bootleg is basically WinPE, but with everything removed (we do mean everything). To the point where window titles don't even display properly because there aren't any fonts! Because so many features have been stripped from the OS, only absolute core programs such as cmd, winlogon, and ntoskrnl will actually run.
The mod is intended to be the successor/replacement of NanoXP, though the build sizes seem to be around the same.
The ISO was built using WinBuilder, a Windows boot disk builder.
Changes from Windows XP
- The removal of practically every last feature and program except for cmd, winlogon, and ntoskrnl, making it basically unusable.
- Fonts appear to be completely eradicated, resulting in elusive hieroglyphics in window titles (and potentially programs, if there's even a chance of getting one that isn't cmd, ntoskrnl, or winlogon working)

- ↑ This can depend on what install medium was used when compiling the WinBuilder project, however this is what was used for the original build of this bootleg.
