Super WinPE Ultimate Boot CD
p2pnet.net News:- Ever heard of the Super WinPE Ultimate Boot CD 2004 Pro?
Nor had we but it’s, “readily available on file-sharing networks like BitTorrent, offers seven different versions of Windows XP on a single DVD,” says Wired News.
“In addition to two Chinese variants of Windows, the Super WinPE disc includes dozens of boot-time utilities for troubleshooting system snafus. One is an experimental ‘pre-installation environment’ that uses a ‘mini-Windows XP’ for system scanning and file recovery, similar to the popular Knoppix LiveCD version of Linux.”
Microsoft has offered low-cost versions of its own operating systems in the past, such as "Windows XP N" in Europe or "Windows XP Starter Edition" in parts of Asia, says Wired, but, “For those who can’t or won’t pay for a legit copy of Windows, though, these juiced-up copies may be the last refuge of the security-conscious.”
That’s because Bill and the Boyz aren’t allowing updates for cracked Windows although, as the story emphasises, the system’s check mechanism was itself quickly cracked.
“Or - with much less effort - they can download a pre-modified version.”

There’s another one out there, in a similar vein. Look for aio + xiso. It has every version of windows from nt31 to datacentre 2003 spread over 2 dvds. This would make life much easier for ppl who support a variety of windows versions across different sites.
Assuming the clients have valid licenses for their windows versions of course, mustn’t be naughty now ;o)

These sort of disc sets have been around for quite some time. At least several years. I guess they were a well hid secret to only now be making it to the news pages.
