cc333 Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Take a look at the photos in this eBay ad: https://www.ebay.com/itm/Dell-Latitude-C640-Windows-xp-wireless-card-installed-WORKING/362759505871?hash=item547626c7cf:g:-VkAAOSwlqJdg-Ga What do you see? I see a very unusual version of Windows which claims to be Windows XP Pro Lite? Does this actually exist somewhere, or is it a custom job? I'm leaning toward the latter so far, but thought maybe some of you could weigh in.... c
Mcinwwl Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Or a hoax. Write "lite" in ebay announcements because I don't understand what I write about o.
Tommy Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 Looks to me like it's a transformation pack of some sort along with Advanced System Care installed due to the monitoring widget in the upper right hand corner. 1
win32 Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 There's an XPlite product out there, made by the same guy as 98lite. Or I guess someone nlited the installation media and that's how this "XP lite" was obtained.

My guess too. Custom theme and an extra desktop widget thrown in. Some of those these can really, really make XP look like a completely different beast. Especially with desktop widgets like Rainmeter.
Windows 2000 Posted September 22, 2019 Posted September 22, 2019 (edited) The taskbar and the toolbox do really resemble Windows Longhorn, so I’d say it’s either some weird xp mod with some skin pack or it is just modded longhorn. After rechecking the post again when I am not so sleepy anymore, I can completely agree with @ED_Sln. Quote This is a common pirated build of XP SP3, with added themes, drivers, and removed components (which are superfluous in the author’s opinion). Logos and a link in the system properties clearly indicate this. The word Lite usually means that most components, services, and standard drivers are removed or disabled.
