Hullo, GBATemp!

I'd like to introduce you to my Windows XP mod (which was originally Cosmo (CV)'s idea), Bone-eXP.

Os-eXP is a Windows XP modern that takes an endeavour to arrive look modern, and so it tin live on with the computers of today'due south world, coming bundled with modernistic applications, like
FireFox (recently discontinued for XP & Vista, press F to pay respects)
HxD
Unchecky
7-cypher
AVG Antivirus
and more than...
(oh, and I approximate it as well comes bundled with Service Pack iv)

Currently, information technology's nonetheless in early access, and however needs to be tested on real hardware. This is a small todo list (if possible):

Add a "Reboot in MS-DOS" mode, like in Windows 98
Supplant the BSOD (mostly text-replacing)
Get rid of applications that are getting replaced to reduice ISO size (for instance, FireFox comes in place for Internet Explorer)

New thought'southward and improvements are always welcome, at any time!
If you found a issues, brand sure to written report it here on GBATemp!
Notes:
You're legally allowed to employ OS-eXP if you own Windows XP Professional.
I practise not host or promote piracy, so you must find your own product key.
The Bone-eXP info that you lot will see while installing was written by Cosmo, it may contain outdated info.
During setup, 3 theming files cannot be copied. If you get this message, ignore information technology, it will exist deleted in a afterward update.
Note that the *.7z file comes with 2 *.iso'south: 1 for installation, 1 chosen "Extra Components" which contains the bundeld software + SP4.

Edit: Bone-eXP is taken downward past a moderator due to it containing a modified copy of Windows XP. (Cosmo, I thought you lot said I could upload it without whatsoever problems)

This is something later on installing the 2 discs:
There is ane more thing to practice if you want to apply a small setting in OS-eXP.
1. Open upwards a plan chosen "BootSkin"
2. Search for a startup called "Os-eXP"
3. Apply the startup screen
4. Restart the calculator to take effect
When this is washed, y'all're fully done with the OS-eXP installation!

Finally installed it on an sometime Compaq Presario 2500 (With CD-ROM & Floppy drives)
Does it work?
No...
No... xD
It Bluescreened once while starting up and everything is slow.
Clearly this is a Legacy Laptop, hither are the specs:

Service Pack 4
Intel(R)
Celeron(R)
CPU: two.40 GHz
RAM: 448 MB
Retentiveness Space: 37.2 GB (32.4 GB later installing most of the stuff, so 10GB between 20GB is enough for this mod)
Clearly this is built for a footling more than ram, like 1GB.

AVG as well didn't install considering I didn't have my LAN cable connected (Yes, this laptop has no wireless net and the bombardment is broken) and the Task Manager replacement also didn't patch.
I found out yous must utilise something like a LiveCD, I used the command window from my re-create of Windows seven, and them you take to manually replace it.

This was information technology for this laptop, I have zip else to exam this on.

And why exactly would anyone utilise this?

Anothr user called Cosmo thought I could finish information technology, and then I wanted to, and I honestly think not many people will also use this, just something to spend my time on.

It'd be nice for tinkering, look at msfn forums @Joom where a lot of the members spend there time debugging and making older oses survive nowadays where the main selection (w10) is basically sucking the life out of limited connections

plus linux isn't equally flexible at running older games as uh, windows 9x and is heavier anyway
