CollabVM has several virtual machines, including one known as "VM 2" that runs Windows XP SP3. It has almost the same specifications as the socket.computer VM (has more RAM and a better CPU), but it is much faster and has several things like Microsoft Office, Firefox, Chrome, all Windows XP Themes, a [[Escargot|patched MSN Messenger]], and more all pre-installed.
