Would it be possible to make a version with no GPU drivers? Also I think it would be nice to optimize XP for SSDs, disabling defragging, disable last access, disable prefetch/superfetch, etc.

Awesome, will study this thread. Very cool and I have disable last access,, prefetch/superfetch and DEP and minimal processes and services running in the background. No real-time AV

Forgot to mention but I got this error a bunch when installing.

I just found that wmp11 sdk is corrupted and can't find the dll files for it but besides that everything works (it will just give annoying missing file errors during setup)

I mentioned this bug a few posts back (the wmp11 sdk is corrupted but a fix is being worked on)

[RedBeam]

ver 1.2.2 (with the exfat update and sdk11 fix) is now in development

[RedBeam]

also if anyone is interested here is the wallpaper i use in the screenshots Windows XP 2.0 Wallpaper

[RedBeam]
