Today, while browsing YouTube in search of something useful, I came across this video that tells you how you can install Windows Vista on your PSP (PlayStation Portable). Actually, it’s not really Windows Vista. It’s just a set of web-pages designed to look like Vista, and once after installation, you don’t need an Internet connection to use it.
PSPWXP is used to install Vista on PSP. When I googled more about PSPWXP, I came to know that there were about 4 types of PSPWXP available for download, customized by users. With Vista on PSP, you can play games, use Internet Explorer 7, use Windows Live Messenger, browse My PSP (similar to My Computer) etc.
