What is XP Black?

J

John

Somebody said Microsoft release a special XP for the military and they call
it XP Black Edition. I google it and looks like some hackers slapped on all
types of skins and shells on top on retail XP.

This XP Black Edition doesn't have data mining to spy on you like the retail
version of XP, is this true?

Thanks

Actually it's a hacked and cracked version of XP that you download from the
pirating websites. It has more data mining than WGA, comes preloaded with
plenty of spyware and viruses. Causes most computers to crash on
installation. The military didn't need to have anything to do with it---
crashes all by itself.

We had "Windows XP Black" in the artillery. The "Start" button included
options for "Global Thermonuclear War", "Nuke Iran", and "Nuke Korea".

False. However, all data mining goes not to Redmond, Washington, but NSA HQ,
Washington, D.C.

I accept your claim upon proof, and will answer your question upon proof of your
claim.

1) Who is the Somebody that said?

2) Are you impersonating that Somebody, and making the claim yourself?

3) What is this special XP release from Microsoft?

4) Does the Military use this Special XP? Which Military?

5) Did your Google research inform you of this Special XP Black Edition?

6) What data mining spy facility does XP retail version have?

7) Is you question loaded by your intent?

It's a version of WinXP modified by DOD for use by USAF CyberSecurity
Command, based at Peterson AFB, Colorado. It's uploaded and installed on the
computer of a person or organization of interest and aids in the targeting of
smart weapons released from a UAV. I could tell you more, but then I'd have
to kill you.

XP Black is dynamic. If you're on a government computer (not just the
military), no data mining or reporting takes place. If not "official,"
everything is tallied.

Your only alternative to exposure is to use Linux, but Linux users are on a
special list anyway.
