Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 DriverPack ISO which adds new programs and themes. It has a new autorun which allows you to install additional drivers and software. It is unattended and preactivated. Despite the bootleg being named Skype XP, this bootleg doesn't even have Skype!

The bootleg is a fork of Android XP, which was released before this one.

The ISO was made using nLite 1.4.9.1, and the autorun was made using AutoPlay Media Studio.

  • The regional language is Arabic, making this bootleg partially Arabic
  • There are many Android XP leftovers, for example in SVCPACK\SPEED UP.EXE you can see Android XP-related images. The ISO file structure is exactly the same, in fact, this bootleg was made 2 weeks after Android XP released, making this one a fork of Android XP. Along with that, the author got someone else to work with them on this bootleg, while they made Android XP themselves
