Created by: YourSuperior Probably the Most EPIC release(final version) of Windows XP 64bit. NOT THE SAME XP64 OS AS THE ONES WITH SIMILAR NAMES RELEASED EARLIER. This one has only been out since the 19th of March 2009. Original release of THIS new version was done here, on h33t and on demonoid. So if you want the actual clean source, get THIS here torrent! And beware of Microsoft marketing drones trying to do everything in their power to talk this OS down (MS no longer markets/sells XP x64 Edition..) ============================================================================= A clean secure thoroughly tested AV/IT-expert's version of Microsoft Windows XP Professional x64 Edition. Built on XP Professional x64 Edition retail SP2 English (United States, NT 5.2.3790.3959) but including ALL Languages and Keyboards ! With inline *corporate* Volume License Key; this release passes "Windows Genuine Advantage" checks, and a product key is NOT needed (see AMD64WINNT.SIF on the iso). Have your own legal key? Please change it using TweakUI (which is included). * Although this release is rather complete and sufficient for most users, there is no Outlook or MS Help in the core of SXP64F; This XP-release is intended for those who - like me - prefer a Classic minimal approach, those who prefer OpenOffice, do audio-/video-editing, creative and developing work, and/or those who generally don't share their PC/laptop with other users. If you are the type that feels at home being Administrator *all the time* without ever getting infected by a virus, then this is your Windows OS ! Do your CPU and motherboard support x64? Then this might very well be the FASTEST Desktop/Workstation OS you can find! It is UPDATED to WoW64 standards of March 19 2009, with all OFFICIAL Microsoft fixes and patches integrated. ** Please check the text below prior to installing, so you already know what is removed and what is added to this automated unattended OS install CD. -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- INSTALL INSTRUCTIONS -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- Burn the .iso Image-file to CD (or DVD) at 6 X speed or slower, try ImgBurn.com Power on your PC/laptop, press the button for the system to enter BIOS. Change the boot sequence to CD first, then Save and Exit BIOS. Then boot with the burned CD and (Quick)format the desired storage partition. ( You only need to boot from CD once, don't press a key at the next boot! ) -> Don't use this CD to Repair or Upgrade existing copies of Windows! -> Don't take out your CD before installation is finished. -> When installation is done change the Administrator password ! It is set to "x9z0_-" which will be used to automatically login... * Disk storage footprint after installation is only 1.7 GB (minus pagefile), but I recommend to use a partition of at least 18 GB to be prepared for long-term use (installation of Photoshop, SoundForge, Vegas Pro etc.) * Commit Charge (Memory footprint) right after installation is 103 MB, with only 18 processes running. This includes DirectX alive & kicking ! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- ADDED ITEMS & FEATURES -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- I n t e g r a t e d (pre-installed) into this XP64 release : - DirectX 9.0c (64 bit & 32 bit) Note that DirectX 10 for XP64 (plus a 9-10 Switcher tool) can be found via the /Superior/ folder on your Desktop ! - Windows Media Player 11 plus IE6 plugins, extra smooth/safe with tweaks. - Internet Explorer 6 (plus all security updates) I highly recommend downloading and using Mozilla Firefox instead. Trust me, with these Add-ons you're a happier user! * AdBlockPlus * ConfigMania * Stylish * TrackMeNot - JKDefrag64 (replaces the Disk Defragmentation tool from MS) - ERUNT -> Auto-backups state of registry, this crucial tool in essence replaces System Restore, and works a LOT better! Info on using ERUNT: http://www.larshederer.homepage.t-online.de/erunt/erunt.txt - PSPad (2/26/2009) -> Brilliant freeware Text Editor, replacing Notepad. - PuTTy -> 64 bit SSH client, replacing telnet and hyperterminal. - Autoruns (right-click My Computer) -> Much better than using MSConfig - ALL XP x64 updates released until March 19 2009 integrated! Also: - A silent installer for MS .NET Framework (2.0 SP2, 3.0 SP2, 3.5 SP1) can be found via folder /Post-install Extras/ included with the torrent of this .iso - Some gorgeous unique Desktop Wallpapers included. - Some cool Themes - the Themes service needs to be started first ( Run command: "sc start Themes" for that ! ) - Some great extra fonts and cursors! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- E X C L U D E D from Windows/Microsoft Update were : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- - IE 7 (since IE 8 is out and Firefox is still a lot better) - Windows Search 4.0 (don't know anyone who uses it..) - MS Silverlight (Hmmrf..) - Windows File Protection = DISABLED, but most security catalogs still in tact! - Indexing Service = disabled and removed entirely. This Windows x64 release is targeted for use with SSD (NAND/Flash) types of storage; Indexing, Defragmenting and many other disk-polling aspects are not recommended! -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- The following have been REMOVED ( 64-bit owners I know will NOT need these ) : -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- # Applications # Accessibility Options, Briefcase, ClipBook Viewer Defragmenter (replaced by JKdefrag!)

It turns out, however, that a wide range of current-day applications, like those for Audio- and Video- editing, encoding, mixing, muxing, BluRay/HD viewing and production, as well as many scientific and no-nonsense apps used by media-professionals and experts, in general, often perform faster and more efficient in XP64 than they do in Vista or Windows 7. ** This Windows version is designed to work with 64-bit processors from AMD and Intel that support the x64 extensions to the x86 architecture. These include the Athlon 64, Athlon 64 FX, Mobile Athlon 64, Turion 64, Opteron processors from AMD, and all Xeon, Pentium 4, Dual and Quad Core Intel CPU's with EM64T. *** Commandline stuff still in there (among others) : arp.exe, at.exe, atsvc.exe, fc.exe, find.exe, findstr.exe, ftp.exe ipconfig.exe, logoff.exe, nbtstat.exe, net.exe, netsh.exe, netshell.exe netstat.exe, nslookup.exe, ntrights.exe, pathping.exe, ping.exe posix.exe, rcp.exe, replace.exe, secfixup.exe, shutdown.exe subst.exe, syskey.exe, taskkill.exe, tracert.exe, tracert6.exe, tskill.exe, ureg.dll, where.exe, xcopy.exe -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- MISC -------------------------------------------------------------------------------- -> Check the folder "Superior" on your desktop for lots of handy URLs to software you should try. -> You might like the All-In-One .NET installer that came with this torrent release ( under folder Post-install Extras ). Simply double-click the batch-file "dotNET-install.bat" when you've booted (as Administrator) in this SXP64 OS. This SuperiorXP64 OS auto-logs on with: username: Administrator password: x9z0_- * Do create your own auto-logon using TweakUI, which can be found in the folder Post-install Extras ( it needs to be installed first. After that: Start Menu > Programs > Powertoys for Windows > etc. ) Enjoy! ~YourSuperior SHA1 of SuperiorXPx64.iso : 82bdc715c19196f616a5cd3f75e3a23e05e0baf7 |
