The aim of this release is for you to be able to stick this DVD in, quickly get setup running, and then when setup finally stops, your computer is ready to use. There are no steps in between, you don't need to do a thing, you get a fully unattended installation of everything. This means all your device drivers installed, no critical updates need installing, and your favorite essential 3rd party apps are already installed and ready to go (optional).
7 different flavours of Windows XP Professional SP3 to choose from - a 'More Info' option is also available that will tell you what each option installs.
- the choices involve whether you want:
> to use the driverpacks
> to automatically launch the post-install menu (and thus install the default apps)
> to install the WinBorg theme which is the logon screen (just like in all previous releases) and the name of 'My Computer' is renamed to 'The Collective'. The alternative is to install the OS without these 'Borg' elements.
a Tools menu is available with a 'More Info' option for all the tools. The menu is:
> HD Clone Professional 3.2
> Hiren's Boot CD 9.5
> Partition Magic 8.05
> Bart's Ram Tester 1.4
Driverpacks
Added feature: the Driverpacks selection utility. You can see the full list of packs available in the March 2008 release (see pic below)
- This starts just before the billboard text so you can de-select the packs you don't want to waste time unpacking. You can also set the style of your screen resolution.
- 2 of the 7 options for the OS don't use the driverpacks, the others do. Even then, the first 2 options can still use the packs, they just aren't selected by default.
The Operating System
The OS is Windows XP Professional with SP3 v5508 integrated. You should not need to download any further hotfixes, and you should be able to 'validate' at any time with any OS you install from this DVD. When you visit Windows Update, you do not have to download or install anything in order to use it, the necessary files have already been integrated. Surprisingly, they weren't inside SP3. Weird if you ask me.
Pre-installed apps and updates
- Java Runtime Environment 6 update 5
- MS .Net Framework AIO (all versions)
--- note: the reason for forcing this installation on you is that a fix has been installed called the Tool-Tip-Fixer 1.0.1 (see addons) - it requires Net Framework 2.0 for it to work. And so do many other applications. Every OS option on this DVD installs this so i'm sorry if this isn't a good thing for you - it is for me!
- Mozilla Firefox 2.0.0.13 with 3 themes and these addons: AutoCopy, IE_View, PDF Download, Fasterfox, Tab-Mix-Plus, Download statusbar, Adblock Plus, filterset Updater (for Adblock), and DownLoadThemAll.
- the SPTD driver v1.55
- Crap Cleaner 2.06.567
- Sop's Visual Styles Pack
- VMware Tools
- Virtual PC Additions
- XVID 1.1.3
Integrated addons
- Your control panel will have 59 objects after install, and the apps are all current as of date of release.
- The full list of addons slipstreamed into this release:
Post-Install Applications Menu
- all are silently installed, you don't need to do nothin with serials, cracks and any other crap like that, and all are ready to go after rebooting your PC.
- only essential apps (or apps tiny in size) were considered for inclusion. For more apps choices, download the WinBorg XP Apps Library Volume 2 March 2008
