Windows XP Vortex 3G Red Edition is a bootleg Windows XP SP3 edition, which was created by arabessam. It released on December 22nd, 2013, and was added to the archive on December 12th, 2021.

The branding of "Windows XP" and "Windows Vista" is very inconsistent in the OS, but winver implies it's based off Windows XP SP3.

Description

The bootleg is a modified Windows XP SP3 ISO. It heavily themes the OS after the ProjectRED Windows Vista theme, and adds some programs, themes and wallpapers. It is unattended, and preactivated.

Changes from Windows XP SP3

• The setup has been heavily modified and replaced with a custom setup engine, complete with animations and a slideshow with Quran verses which also silently installs programs in the background
• The theme is styled after the official ProjectRED Windows Vista theme. A lot of the wallpapers and gadgets are sourced from official ProjectRED Vista promotions.
• The start menu is changed to look like Vista
