Anyone tried XP Black?!

**-Hox-** · 13th June, 2008, 02:46 AM

I've had XP Black for a while now and love it... anyone had any bad times with it? It seems to have absolutly everything I could ever want from a home PC point of view!

yes mate ive tried it was ok but @ the mo ive found the best version to be ººº Windows XP SP3 Reloaded Glass ººº

Windows XP Pro SP3 5508 - March 2008

With SP3 RTM Integrated and all
Hotfixes till March 2008

Also Includes IE7 + WMP11.
really good and has the best driver support ive seen before

Looks like I'm a bit behind in the game!!

I could do with either of these images to use on some of my machines. They look good and worth trying although its an individual choice. Where is the safest place to download these? I can't be arse with torrents these days but am open to other suggestions.

All answers on the back of a stamped self addressed postcard please... Otherwise i will check back here for your ideas guys..

Thanks

Newsgroups or Rapidshare are good bets m8.

Yeah, well I was looking for a download that would be free (this is a hackers site) where I would not have to pay a subscription or join up to some newz groups (I gave up on those a while back, just not my thing...).

Considering the size of the download I expected it would have to be paid for on most sites, but i found it on fullandfree.info the chose the 'shareonall' mirrors then selected zSHARE as the actual mirror and succesfully got all seven rars. If you wanna get this yourself, make sure you read the posts on that site and get all the rars from the same mirror.

Glad to hear you've got it bud, I was gonna offer to send a copy of Black in the post if you hadn't found it!

Yup, got and lovin it, whacked on SP3 with no issues, the WGA tool verifies its ok for updates. Shame some of the apps are now out of date/expired but thats easy to remedy. All in all thanks for starting the thread that brought my attention to it... Gonna try and find that version that Biffo1 is showing off....

RE windows xp sp3 5508 reload glass

Found a decent link to it on rapidshare here...

Windows Xp Sp3 5508 Reloaded Glass Dvd - Katz Forums

Had to buy a subscription to it at last, I'm a tight ****er and always try to avoid paying for downloads but had to bite the bullet this time as it soooo big. It makes a DVD ISO. Am still downloading at the mo, there are 42 parts to this one... Will write back when i have run it up on a PC later this morning...

**bobble** · 18th June, 2008, 06:08 PM

i have tryed its not bad

**caveman_nige** · 18th June, 2008, 06:17 PM

Ok , got the Glass version as well now, not bad at all, impressed with that on too, lots of apps and a classy looking gui... Somebody has spent some serious time on these OS..
