History This is without a doubt the most popular and most widely distributed version of Windows XP. Microsoft decided to attack Piracy by putting in an activation feature of Windows XP to prevent it being pirated. Pirates qsgf around activation, only to find out that Microsoft changed things so their patched file no longer worked. Every time Microsoft fixed XP activation, the Pirates patched it in 15 minutes and released the new file in less than a day. Yet every service pack that Microsoft released, caused more bloat and more security exploits, and Pirates had decided that they could do a much better job at writing Windows than Microsoft can. A book was written on Windows XP for Pirates, and as of the second edition it now covers the Windows XP Pirate Edition, available on all P2P filesharing networks in the world for free. As Microsoft ignores customers' needs, Windows XP Pirate Edition exists to fill those needs. Windows XP: The Rewrite Maddox and Captain Joel Sparrow decided to disassemble Windows XP, every file, into assembly language. They found all the crap in it and removed it, so the bloat was gone. Basically a lot of nops (No Operations), useless loops, waits, NSA backdoors, Spyware, Adware, activation requests, key loggers, password stealers, code that made no sense but did not contribute anything useful to the operation of Windows. It took one year, but XP is now 1/3rd the size it used to be, can fit in 256M of hard drive space, runs fast on a 100Mhz Pentium or 586 chip, and only needs 50M of RAM to run. It runs ten times faster now. Crap like Internet Explorer was replaced with Firefox, Media Player was replaced with XINE, Outlook Express was replaced with Thunderbird. All of the security exploits are fixed now. See the security section of this document for more info. Features Scrub the hardrive antivirus features. Security Security was rewritten, the default account no longer has administrator access and the administration account has to have a password set before the install will continue. Any software install requires the administrator password before the software can be installed, which foils all Malware infections, unless you are stupid enough to enter the administrator password. GPG is used for file, directory, and hard drive encryption. Since the NSA backdoors are removed, the NSA will have to get a search warrant to search your hard drive now, but using GPG encryption without your passphrase the files will be garbage to them anyway. While the ISO is distributed over the P2P networks, the ISO is GPG, MD5, and CRC signed, and the install program will check the files with their GPG signatures to verify that they haven't been tampered with. Updates are done by connecting to BitTorrent networks and checking files with their GPG keys, or off of several mirrors of Maddox's Pirate Bay website where you can download them and they will check their GPG signatures for you before installing. Advantages You can pretty much play World of Warcraft on a piece of shit PC not up to modern standards and not experience lag in the game when it has to render too many objects onscreen. Windows XP Pirate Edition is pretty much malware proof, so there is no need to run an Antivirus, but ClamAV is provided with the default install just in case. The system does not bog down to a crawl and crash anymore. The BSOD is replaced with a better program that recovers from errors and allows you to save your work before asking you to shut the system down. The new program is GOMF for Get Outta My Face, which traps all BSOD errors with an error recovery routine so that it never gets into your face. That silly Windows key is replaced with a new Skull and Crossbones key. The mouse is also replaced by a rat, which offers additional security (NO MORE BLONDS IN CHATS) Microsoft's response Microsoft is not happy about the Windows XP Pirate Edition. They were quite happy plundering people's wallets, and then THIS happens! They warn people not to use it, as it is in copyright violation. They ran their own third party tests on it, like they did on Linux, and they claim that the TCO (Total Cost of Ownership) of Microsoft Windows XP over the Pirate Edition is lower. Meanwhile Maddox had third party tests done on Windows XP verses Pirate Edition and found that Microsoft's Windows XP had a lower TC0 (Total Cost of 0wnership) in that 0wning (IE infecting and controlling via malware) a Microsoft Windows XP PC has a low cost of doing so, and that no matter what the cost of developing malware for Windows XP Pirate Edition, it cannot be 0wned. When asked about how he felt over the Windows XP Pirate Edition having error trapping and error recovery features that the Microsoft version of Windows XP lacks, Steve Ballmer said, "Who really needs those features? The more unstable we make XP, the more likely people will buy Windows Vista looking for a fix. This Windows XP Pirate Edition is an abomination with error trapping and error recovery features. The software development cycle at Microsoft never has error trapping and error recovery for marketing reasons." Future Advances Maddox said they are not done with XP Pirate Edition. That they will be adding in even more features like the ability to run Linux, Macintosh OSX, OS/2, and other applications. That they are learning how to optimize coprocessors like the Amiga used to speed up performance. That they plan to add in as many features as Windows Vista promises and even more only bug free and malware free versions of Windows Vista features. The new version of Windows XP Pirate Edition was completely and totally rewritten and renamed (to prevent Microsoft lawsuits) as AROS or Amiga Research Operating System and will have a final release sometime in 2010. Actually Windows XP PE is beginning to sound a lot like Ubuntu!

I ran across a pirated XP system while watching a youtube video. I had never heard of it before so I investigated it and thought I'd share what I found. I found it to be interesting and thought that others might as well.

Can someone provide the title - and especially a vendor - of this book?!
I went to amazon and B&N and they don't have it. I also Googled the title and came up with nothing. I'm guessing that the "book" is something you get within the pirate community.

Somewhere in Kenya, a village is still missing its idiot.
Maybe they have it on Pirate Bay. That's where I would look.
Liberty is not a means to a higher political end. It is itself the highest political end. Lord Acton He (Gordon Duff) also implies that forcibly removing Obama, a Constitution-hating, on-the-down-low, crackhead Communist, is an attack on America, Mom, and apple pie. I swear these military people are worse than useless. Just look around at the condition of the country and tell me if they have fulfilled their oaths to protect the nation from all enemies foreign and domestic.

There is too much bad information here to debunk it all. Don't rely on this. It was written about four years ago, almost certainly by some old Amiga nutter (notice the AROS references). Other info in the article is typical of Amiga cultist types discussing Windows or other OSes. And there is no Windows XP Pirate Edition either.
Well for something that doesn't exist there sure are a lot of forums discussing it and bit torrent sites to download it from.

The release groups never label anything "Pirate Edition". I've followed this stuff for over thirty years and have never seen it. Many years back, I belonged to a few of these groups. They just don't use names like that, in part because of heavier legal repercussions. It's all phony. Google for it and you'll find a few obscure forums/blogs and your Uncyclopedia source are all that mention it, often confusing it with TinyXP (which is a very popular stripped down version of WinXP for years and which is actually available on all the torrent sites). You'll notice your article only mentions Vista. No use of Windows 7 (a much better product than Vista was). So this is dated bloggish material, written by an Amiga nut, and inaccurate to boot. As for it being on all the torrent sites, bull. I just checked Demonoid, surely one of the largest active torrent sites with 377,000 torrents currently, and there isn't a single listing for 'Windows XP Pirate Edition' or 'Windows XP Pirated Edition'. PirateBay had one listing for a 1024x768 wallpaper that said 'Windows XP Pirated Edition'. Mininova had no listings at all. So much for your many forums and many torrents. But believe what you like.
