[WHAT YOU CAN DO]
- PROGRAMS -
You can still install and run just about all the programs and games
that you can run on a normal installation of XP. There is a text file
in the eXPerience folder on the desktop that has a list of programs
that work and includes some that don't work (not many). Even Office
2007 installs on this version of Windows
- GAMES -
Up to now, there has not been one single report of any game not
working on MicroXP. Gaming is what this edition of Windows is all
about, it gives better benchmarks than any other version of
Windows I have ever tested.
- LAN NETWORKING -
At last - MicroXP now has the ability to browse your local network.
All you need to know is the computer name of the computer you want
to connect to and thats about it, just right click My Computer and
choose Map Network Drive. All computers can see each other even
if every computer in the network is running this MicroXP.
- CAMERAS AND SCANNERS
Now in MicroXP it is possible to use a digital camera (USB only,
no Firewire) or a scanner. Tested and working with a Fuji FinePix
6MP camera. The Photo Printing Wizard is not included, neither
is the wizard to download photos from the internet, but the rest
of the functionality for cameras and scanners is as complete as
in full Windows. My favourite saying: whats missing, you're not
gonna miss! Print photos with Photoshop or maybe even Irfanview.
Ctrl+P to print works in every single program that supports it,
so its not like we ever needed the photo printing wizard, which
only ever made all images I fed through it A4, even small images,
so it actually did not even work, unless I skipped a button but
there really are no buttons to skip in that wizard, its useless.
- DIAL-UP CONNECTION -
You can still use a Dial-Up connection (Broadband or old 56k modem).
This is the one major flaw in other stripped out operating systems,
a lot of UK users still use a modem with broadband... in this
edition, RAS Dial-Up/PPPoE/DSL/ADSL connectivity is OK as well
as old 56k modems. Yes, try this install on a Pentium II or even
an old 486 might run it! They had 75Mhz processors and 8Mb RAM
with 4Mb graphics cards.
- WEB BROWSER -
This installation already includes a basic web browser called
Browzar that uses a few core files left from Internet
Explorer. No, Internet Explorer is not included, but select
files included in this installation that come from Internet
Explorer are vital to running Windows. Its also Internet Explorer
related files that allow you to open CHM files, which you can do
in this edition of Windows. This Browzar web browser is only here
so you can at least get online and download Firefox, Opera, Netscape
or whatever browser you want. This not only saves space on this CD,
but you get to choose what web browser you want to use and you get
the latest version not an old and possibly insecure version. Flash
v9.0.124.0 for Firefox and Opera is included, so Google Video and
YouTube work straight away in whichever browser you install.
- PASSES WGA CHECKS
If you go to download for example, Windows Media Player 11 from
Microsoft's downloads section, you will need to validate windows
by running the GenuineCheck.exe file that Microsoft asks you to
download as part of the Windows Genuine Advantage checks. Its
fine to do this, don't be scared of your key being blacklisted.
- FLASH -
If you install Opera or Firefox web browser(s) in this special
MicroXP edition of Windows, you can go visit YouTube or Google
Video without even having to install Flash Player. You can just
watch the videos right away.

CHANGELOG
(MicroXP v0.82)
Released: June 22nd 2008
Following the release of MicroXP v0.81, this new version fixes an issue
with Wireless LAN where it was not able to automatically find networks
around you without knowing the SSID identification code of the network.
This problem only appeared with Service Pack 3. The fix was simple, just
replace three DLL files in this SP3 version with the older SP2 versions
of the files - problem is fixed and you can use wireless just the same
as you could in previous (SP2) releases of MicroXP.
Thanks to christianpeso from SRN for working on this and fixing it.
All previous fixes in all previous versions
of MicroXP apply in this new version 0.82.
MicroXP v0.81 to MicroXP v0.82
[REPLACED FILES]
- Replaced SP3 version of "wzcdlg.dll" with SP2 version (saves 5Kb)
- Replaced SP3 version of "wzcsapi.dll" with SP2 version (saves 1Kb)
- Replaced SP3 version of "wzcsvc.dll" with SP2 version (saves 121Kb)
[REMOVED FILES]
- Removed all .XSD files.
- Removed "L2Schemas" folder from the WINDOWS folder.
- Removed "Provisioning" folder from the WINDOWS folder.
(MicroXP v0.81)
Released: June 20th 2008
Following the release of MicroXP v0.8, this new version adds the networking
functionality that most people wanted in MicroXP. Now you are able to map
drives in Windows. You only need to know the computer name and login, then
you can access other drives on other computers as if they were your own,
you just need to have them plugged together in the same workgroup and it
works. You can even have a network that is made up of just MicroXP v0.81
and they can all see each other - both ways.
Also added is "Cameras and Scanners" so now you can plug in a USB digital
camera or scanner. Note that the photo printing wizard is not included,
neither is the wizard to "help you download pictures from the internet"
All previous fixes in all previous versions
of MicroXP apply in this new version 0.81.
MicroXP v0.8 to MicroXP v0.81
[ADDED FEATURES]
- "Server" service and "Workstation" service both added to allow
local networking with mapped drives - just type the computer
name in on the "Map Network Drive" box. The Server service is
added so other PC's can see your PC in your network. The
"Workstation" service is added so your PC can see other PC's
in your network. You can only use "Map Network Drive" to do
networking.
- Added back support for digital cameras and scanners. Only USB
types can be used (no Firewire). This is down to the added
service "Windows Image Acquisition (WIA)"
- Added more options in the "Services Config"
folder in the desktop eXPerience folder so
you can customize your services setup.
- Tweak to remove "Date Modified" and "Attributes" and
add "Description" to the columns in explorer Windows.

to remove (or restore back) any last things you do not
want in Windows.
