The aim of this project 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 essential device drivers installed (Audio, Mass Storage, Network, & Video), 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 9.2
> Partition Magic 8.05
> Bart's Ram Tester 1.4

* my version of Windows Pre-install Environment - this option is available from the Boot Menu and when chosen, Windows XP loads up (ie like a 'Windows on a CD') using a RAM disc to store all the temporary OS files, 33 apps are installed and its just like the normal Windows XP interface - this means you can play around with an old hard disc that has a stuffed OS (ie won't boot up) -- even Burning to DVD is available. IF you run this inside a VM (either VMWare or Virtual PC) you can also connect to your network and to the internet if you're connected.

Driverpacks

* 2 of the 7 options for the OS don't use the driverpacks, the others do.
* updates as of February 29, 2008

The Operating System

* The OS is Windows XP Professional with SP3 build 3311. 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 4
- MS .Net Framework 2.0 sp1
--- 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 2.0.0.12 with 3 themes and these addons: AutoCopy, IE_View, PDF Download, Fasterfox, Download statusbar, Adblock Plus, filterset Updater (for Adblock), and DownLoadThemAll.
- the SPTD driver v1.55
- Crap Cleaner 2.05.555
- Sop's Visual Styles Pack
- VMware Tools
- Virtual PC Additions
- XVID 1.1.3

* Your control panel will have 56 objects after install, and the apps are all current as of date of release.
