Windows XP Coccinelle: A Modular Update Kit for Windows XP
Windows XP Coccinelle was a project created by FrÃdÃric Fredisland, a French developer and enthusiast of Windows XP. The project aimed to provide a modular update kit for all French editions of Windows XP, with or without Service Pack. The kit consisted of a program called cocci-kit, which was responsible for updating the user's own edition of Windows XP from an ISO image. The user had to use their own license key and did not receive any copy of Windows XP from the project.

The cocci-kit worked with modules that were regularly updated by simple download. A module was composed of a set of files (images, icons, scripts...) encapsulated in an archive. There were 36 modules (+ 1 special) that covered different types of updates that could be performed on Windows XP. These modules formed a whole that made the recipe of Windows XP Coccinelle. None of the modules were encrypted and the scripts were simple batch files. It was also possible to create one's own module.
But Windows XP Coccinelle was also a community of computer lovers of Windows XP, gathered from October 2005 to 2011 around a forum that had reached nearly 30,000 members, called "coccinautes". However, the vicissitudes of life and the disaffection of XP for Windows 7 forced Fredisland to rethink his priorities, even though he never forgot his little family. Despite this, a few years later, on April 26, 2015, some nostalgic people came back to him and suggested the idea of a Windows Coccinelle focused on Windows 7. On October 3 of the same year, under pressure from his fans, he decided to start over and launch the project 7Cocci. But the project never came to fruition, due to lack of motivation on his part.
Finally, after learning that some former coccinautes were still looking for an evolution towards Windows 10, he decided to create Cocci 10. With a restart from scratch of the programming work, a new website and a new forum. And also more constraints because Windows 10 does not have the flexibility of Windows XP!

How to get Windows XP Coccinelle? Windows XP Coccinelle was not available for download from Microsoft or any other official source. It was only distributed by Fredisland through his website and forum. The user had to register on the forum and download the cocci-kit and the modules from there. The user also had to have an original copy of Windows XP (any French edition) and an ISO image of it. The user then had to run the cocci-kit and select the modules they wanted to apply to their ISO image. The cocci-kit would then create a new ISO image with the updates and customizations. The user could then burn the new ISO image to a CD or DVD and use it to install Windows XP Coccinelle on their computer.
Is Windows XP Coccinelle still available? Unfortunately, Windows XP Coccinelle is no longer available or supported by Fredisland. The project was discontinued in 2011 due to lack of interest and resources. The website and forum were also shut down in 2015 due to technical issues. However, some archives of the project can still be found on the Internet Archive website. These archives contain some of the images ISO, files, and goodies that were part of Windows XP Coccinelle. However, they are not guaranteed to work or be safe to use. 04f6b60f66
