I've got a nephew who had come up with a copy of XP Black. He is after me

I've done a Google search, and one here in the XP newsgroups, and cannot
find out exactly what it is.......or isn't. Just discussions as to whether
it's bogus or not. Even in this newsgroup area there's an argument about the
"bogus" issue. :-(

Bogus or not, what *IS* it? This is what I want to know.

If it is bogus, I might make a separate boot partition (have to learn how to
do that! LOL) to experiment with XP Black. But I've no intention to use is
as the regular OS. Too damn many problems with the real thing, I'm not
masochistic enough to want to mess with additional problems from a bogus
version!


Since there is no official Microsoft version with that name, it's
clearly bogus. I know nothing about it, and can't provide any details,
but if it were me, I wouldn't dream of installing something like that
on any computer I owned. It's just looking for trouble.
